Fujitsu and CA Technologies have formed a strategic alliance to enhance each company’s service assurance product portfolio and cloud computing strategy.

Fujitsu said that the partnership enhances ability of both the companies to help organisations improve management of heterogeneous enterprise IT environments and optimise IT supply chains.

In the initial stage of alliance, the companies have signed an OEM agreement under which Fujitsu will sell CA application performance management (CA APM) in Japan, and offer it with their SOA middleware suites and system management software suites.

In addition, CA Technologies will offer Fujitsu’s interstage business process manager analytics product, as CA business process performance analytics (CA BPPA), as an add-on option to CA APM.

Fujitsu said that the CA APM will help its customers to anticipate and identify root cause of transaction performance issues, and resolve problems.

It will also help line of business managers and application owners to optimise business process performance, manage service level agreements (SLAs), and assure consistently efficient service delivery levels in all environments, including cloud, the company said.
