Eweek

CA is looking to make it easier for enterprises to manage their virtualized datacenters and cloud computing environments by enhancing the capabilities of several software solutions to support VMware’s vSphere 4 virtualization platform and virtualized network switches from Cisco Systems.

CA announced July 6 that is expanding the reach of its Spectrum Infrastructure Manager, eHealth Performance Manager and Spectrum Automation Manager to create a single, fully integrated management offering for physical and virtualserver and network environments. In addition, the solution will managedatabases, voice and UC (unified communications) systems, and other networked applications.

Key to the enhanced offering is support for vSphere 4 and Cisco’s Nexus 1000V virtual software switch, which can be integrated as an option into vSphere 4.

Anything the vendors can do to aid monitoring of the virtual infrastructure, and the applications that run on it has to be a good thing, I wonder if we’ll ever get to the point where my infrastructure can establish that the overnight batch is running slow, and migrate the workload to my New York data center, when it’s just stopped trading and has spare capacity?
