As the global economy emerges from a prolonged slump, we’re seeing a “return to growth” mentality.
Among CEOs that mentality manifests itself in a demand for:
Innovation that can drive growth and enhance competitiveness;
A desire to attract and retain new customers by delivering a positive image to the marketplace; and
Continued pressure for cost efficiencies.
These are CA Technologies views, but they also map pretty well to the results of a recent Gartner survey of over 2000 CIOs*. In that study, the top 3 business priorities for organizations in 2011 are 1) increasing enterprise growth, 2) attracting and retaining new customers and 3) reducing enterprise costs.
These business demands have implications for IT – and for the CIO. The CIO is under pressure to:
Increase speed and agility to more rapidly serve the needs of the business;
Mitigate risk; and
Reduce overall IT costs.
CA Technologies has the broadest and most robust IT Management portfolio in the industry and this presentation will give you an understanding of our capabilities to help you meet the demands of your business.

Hello. I’m xxxxxx. . .
I’m here to talk to you about Accelerating the Benefits of Cloud and Converged Infrastructure through CA Service Management.
First I’d like to read you this paragraph from our press release from May 4, 2011
“CA Technologies application migration and management capabilities address one of the biggest challenges CIOs face today, how to modernize application architectures and platforms. Whether migrating from distributed to virtual, or from mainframe to converged infrastructures, the CA Technologies solutions, coupled with Vblock, will deliver repeatable, consistent results.”
<Click for BUILD>
Why is this important? CA Technologies and VCE help customers use and provide cloud-based services that transform IT for agility, efficiency and business innovation. Providing services on Vblock Infrastructure Platforms from VCE represents a unique collaboration in deploying and implementing services designed to reduce risk and costs when moving applications to a private cloud computing environment. CA Technologies application migration capabilities “de-risk” the greatest challenge CIOs face (what I mentioned in the quote) of how to modernize application architectures and platforms. By implementing CA capabilities on VCE Vblock Infrastructure Platforms, organizations can employ a strategy for Vblock platform application migration to a cloud computing environment that is easy to deploy, helps reduce the cost of IT to customers, is consistent and repeatable.
In this presentation, I’m going to discuss CA Technologies and VCE’s solution to accelerate the deployment and adoption of converged infrastructure and cloud based computing models that dramatically reduce the cost of IT while improving time to market for organizations.
Key Takeaway: Now, more than ever is the time to get accelerate the deployment and adoption of converged infrastructure and cloud-base computing models that dramatically improve application performance and reduce IT operations risks and costs.
To help you better understand the opportunity, here is my agenda for the next 30 minutes:
< next slide>
To realize the benefits of moving to cloud computing environment, you need a converged infrastructure. WHY
<Click for BUILD>
Faster time to market
The Vblock infrastructure Platforms are built for virtual and cloud workloads deployments. These integrated units of infrastructure enable your IT organization to rapidly deploy a virtualized infrastructure that not only provides a quick return on your IT investment but saves IT time in deploying each separate component.
<Click for BUILD>
Better resource utilization
The Vblock platform encapsulates networking, virtualization and storage in a single integrated system, rather the your organization having to deal with the complexity of integrating and managing multiple components.
<Click for BUILD>
-Helps to reduce risk
The Vblock platform is the only platform that blends cloud computing with integrated, consistent enterprise security and compliance, and performance. The uniformity and consistency of infrastructure elements, ensure consistent and repeatable service delivery, thereby helping to reduce risk to the organization.
<Click for BUILD>
Lowers cost
These pre-integrated and validated infrastructure platforms help reduce total cost of ownership. Consolidation and simplification through better use of resources and new mechanisms to procuring and managing these resources helps to lower costs.
<Click for BUILD>
-Also need Management Software
Combining the integrated technologies of Vblock platforms with CA Technologies end-to-end management solutions on “CA-Technologies-ready” Vblock platforms provides your business greater out-if-the-box capabilities and quicker time to value. CA Technologies take the complexity out of managing business services, with easy-to-use solutions covering multiple management disciplines like automation, assurance, and security, that are integrated in our own labs, not on our customers' sites (saving your business money on integration costs)
