CA Technologies has confirmed it will buy Hyperformix, a provider of capacity management software for dynamic physical, virtual, and cloud IT infrastructures. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
According to Roger Pilc, general manager of CA Technologies Virtualization and Automation customer solutions business, virtualization capacity management is among customers’ most critical IT management needs. An important aspect of CA’s virtualization and cloud strategies is to help customers overcome the ‘VM stall’ challenges they encounter as they roll out virtualization and progress to a dynamic, cloud-based data center architecture. Hyperformix strengthens CA’s ability to help organizations advance their IT infrastructures to benefit the business.
Capacity management enables customers to discover how physical, virtual, hardware, software, storage, and network resources are being used, and to determine what resources will be needed in the future. The technology also helps customers optimize the deployment of those resources to meet business objectives.
