While these technologies and new business models can reduce operating costs tied to physical infrastructure and increase
agility, they also push IT into more complex and hybrid computing environments comprising mainframes, physical servers,
virtualized servers and private and public cloud components.
To address these challenges, we believe it is vital for companies to effectively accelerate IT innovation and transform and
secure all of their various computing environments, while being able to deliver new services quickly based on their business
needs.
Our core strengths in IT management and security, combined with our investments in innovative technologies, position us to
serve a wide range of customers. We have a broad and deep portfolio of software solutions to address customer needs
across computing platforms, from mainframe and distributed to virtual, cloud and mobile, and across the service lifecycle.
We deliver these solutions on-premises and are continuing to transition many of our products to a SaaS delivery model. We
organize our offerings into our Mainframe Solutions, Enterprise Solutions and Services operating segments.
• are designed for the mainframe platform, which runs many of our largest customers’ most
important applications. We help customers seamlessly manage their mainframe as part of their entire enterprise and
optimize their infrastructure to achieve savings, deliver value and drive innovation across the enterprise. Our mainframe
development delivers innovative and technically current solutions in key areas such as workload automation,
performance, DB2 for z/OS and application quality and testing. We are driving innovation in our mainframe business
by investing in technologies such as CA Mainframe Chorus that dramatically simplify mainframe management, help
current mainframe staff be more productive and enable a new generation of IT staff to assume responsibility for their
mainframe environments. Our comprehensive solutions for the Linux on System z platform help customers leverage the
cost savings and simplified management that this growing platform offers.
• operate on non-mainframe platforms from physical to virtual and cloud (including SaaS,
Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Platform-as-a-Service where IT resources are dynamically pooled and shared across
multiple physical and virtual computing environments). Our business outcomes-based approach helps customers drive
innovation by leveraging new technologies and the cloud to meet business needs, mitigate risk and improve efficiency.
Our enterprise solutions can help customers achieve new levels of speed, innovation and performance by making
organizations more agile and by freeing up IT resources to invest in growth. Our solutions include:
• where we are a leader in application performance management and infrastructure management.
We help customers transform their IT management systems by linking applications, real users, transactions and
services with the underlying IT infrastructure. We enable customers to achieve enterprise reliability by providing a
comprehensive, unified understanding of the real-time performance, risk and quality of business services and end-user
experience across physical, virtual and cloud environments, as well as the ability to predict quality of service issues.
Enterprise reliability is integral to the success of business model innovation and critical to sustainable growth,
competitive differentiation and market relevance. At CA World in April 2013, we announced further capabilities
required by customers to manage mobile users, devices, applications and content. Service assurance products include
CA Application Performance Management, CA Infrastructure Management (now including server virtualization
management), CA Capacity Management, CA Nimsoft Monitor and CA Service Operations Insight.
