CA Technologies has acquired 4Base Technology, a virtualisation and cloud infrastructure consulting firm, which facilitates customers to move from virtualisation to cloud by providing strategic advice and implementation expertise. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The company said that through this acquisition, its customers can access 4Base Technology’s expertise and experience as they move from virtualisation-to-cloud, reducing risk and accelerating returns.
Virtualisation and cloud computing are in a fluid and evolving state, and it will engage customers with comprehensive offering, in terms of both products and services, designed to help them realise the agility and operational benefits that can be derived from virtualisation and cloud computing, the company said.
CA services general manager Adam Elster said that as CA Technologies expands its role as a strategic partner and advisor to customers on the journey from virtualisation to cloud computing, they are investing in both the software and consulting services needed to achieve substantial business results.
"4Base has worked with hundreds of customers across a broad spectrum of virtualisation and cloud technologies, including CA Technologies, Cisco, EMC, NetApp and VMware.
"Through this experience, 4Base has developed a broad base of skills, knowledge and experience that will play a critical role in CA Technologies ability to help customers quickly plan, adopt and execute transformative strategies and technologies that make their business more agile," Elster said.
4Base principal and co-founder Paul Camacho said that they look forward to helping new and existing CA Technologies customers eliminate VM stall and develop a dynamic IT service supply chain that transforms IT from a cost centre to a business enabler, increases business agility, reduces IT costs, and increases quality of service.
