One of the tools used by Amazon Web Services customers is CA Technologies’ CA Unified Infrastructure Management for cloud monitoring. This tool enables users to optimize performance across private or public cloud environments, providing what the company calls a comprehensive, unified solution.

It offers on-prem infrastructure and cloud monitoring through a single view (“single pane of glass”) and back-end architecture. For customers, this translates into faster mean time to repair and cloud adoption, as well as the reduced cost and complexity of managing multiple monitoring tools, according to Umair Khan, principal product marketing manager at CA Technologies.

Khan and Raj Sundaram, director of product management at CA Technologies, joined John Furrier (@furrier) and Stu Miniman (@stu), co-hosts of theCUBE (* disclosure below), from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during AWS re:Invent, held in Las Vegas, NV. They discussed the capabilities that CA Technologies provides for cloud clients, as well as what the future holds for machine learning.

Single pane of glass for cloud and onprem

Khan said that one of the key challenges that the company’s customers are facing right now is that development teams want to embrace modern infrastructure and cloud-based technology, but the ops side is held back by legacy infrastructure, especially on the enterprise side, that they cannot move right now.

What customers are looking for is a unified toolset that supports their legacy, traditional infrastructure, and at the same time supports a newer technology; be it Amazon, Docker containers, on-prem or off-prem. Customers also need to get a consistent experience across all of these technologies. To help customers span these capabilities, CA Technologies relies on its Unified Infrastructure Management. “We have a very comprehensive AWS monitoring capability, support for most services … providing visibility to their entire ecosystem is something customer desires,” said Sundaram.

CA Technologies’ machine learning investment

The conversation moved to what the guests are seeing as up and coming in the future of technology and cloud.

Sundaram explained, “The shear amount of data being generated these days requires machine learning to process.” To that end, CA Technologies is actively investing in machine learning to get started in the loop of predictive learning.
