CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced at its second annual
Built to Change Summit new leading-edge solutions that unleash the
power of the mainframe for the future and new possibilities for the

The Next Phase of DevOps (For the Mainframe)
CA and long-term partner IBM are announcing a strategic
partnership to jointly develop and sell new services for IBM’s
Cloud Managed Services on z Systems (zCloud). This partnership
enables clients that rely on the mainframe for business critical
operations to easily access development, testing, application
management and regulatory compliance services within IBM’s zCloud
offering for operational resiliency, efficiencies and workforce
agility.
“The investment in mainframe innovation that CA and IBM are
making together supports our digital transformation and
demonstrates a real commitment to giving businesses an edge,” said
Tim Skeen, chief information officer at Anthem. “The services
announced today from CA and IBM enable us to run mission-critical
workloads in a cloud environment with access to the latest
mainframe technology and expertise. This offering demonstrates a
real possibility for us to deliver new innovations and features
faster and securely through a true cloud experience for the
mainframe.”
Together, IBM and CA Technologies will provide a suite of
mainframe software solutions, including the newly-released CA
Brightside. First available on IBM zCloud, CA Brightside makes it
easy to integrate the mainframe into enterprise DevOps workflows.
It is the first solution designed to increase the productivity of
development teams to control, script and build for the mainframe
like any other cloud platform, using familiar open source
tools.
“Our clients are accelerating their digital transformation and
many are incorporating the mainframe as an essential part of their
transformation,” said Philip Guido, general manager of
Infrastructure Services for IBM Global Technology Services.
“To assist our clients, IBM introduced Cloud Managed Services on z
Systems. This service combines the security and power of IBM’s
mainframe with the flexibility and scalability of the IBM Cloud.
IBM and CA are committed to deepening the platform’s role in
enterprise digital transformation.”
Clients using Cloud Managed Services on z Systems can also
leverage CA tools to help reduce costs, speed application
deployment and integration with:
- CA Brightside: Easily develop
applications for the mainframe using existing open source tools and
frameworks such as Jenkins, Gradle and IntelliJ thru a command line
interface.
- CA Service Virtualization: Rapidly test
and modify applications in place, making it easier for companies to
do mainframe test and development in the cloud.
- CA Mainframe Operational Intelligence:
Monitor applications in the cloud and integrate into existing
digital performance management solutions.

“CA and IBM have an opportunity to help our clients overcome
challenges in rising costs of IT ownership, workforce evolution and
security issues head on,” said Greg Lotko, general manager,
Mainframe at CA Technologies. “Together, we give every company an
opportunity to realize even greater value in their investments by
combining the reliability of the mainframe with the speed and
agility of DevOps.”
The software and services are available today to all IBM Managed
Cloud Services for z Systems clients in North America and will be
rolled out globally throughout the rest of 2018.
Using Automation to Speed Mainframe ROI
CA Mainframe Resource Intelligence is an industry-first solution
to help realize the greatest value from existing mainframe
investments. Delivering reports with actionable insights and
practical steps to achieve business results in days, rather than
months, this SaaS-based assessment offering automates scanning and
the collection of disparate data to assess and visualize potential
savings, optimization and investment scenarios. This is impactful
as a significant majority (78 percent) of mainframe clients plan to
grow MIPS by 10 percent*, but most have not been given any
additional budget or resources to do so.
“We use the mainframe to run many aspects of our business,” said
Phil Mangis, vice president, Information Systems at Dollar Bank.
“It’s critical we operate as efficiently as possible. The process
of optimization is relentless, continuous and labor-intensive. I
see great opportunity in what CA Mainframe Resource Intelligence
can do for our business through data automation coupled with
reports and benchmarks that quickly reveal what is happening on our
mainframe with actionable insights.”
In addition to these new innovations for mainframe environments,
CA also announced a set of new solutions and capabilities spanning
across its comprehensive enterprise software portfolio.
