In CA Technologies has unveiled new features and functionality to the Cloud Commons ecosystem, including the new Cloud Commons Marketplace that facilitates the buying and selling of cloud services and content, and the Cloud Commons Developer Studio, for planning, building and testing cloud-based software solutions.
The Cloud Commons ecosystem is a thriving community of more than 3,000 members. Current Marketplace cloud solutions span hosted CA AppLogic grids, Microsoft based appliances, cloud control panels, virtual desktop and mobile hosting, and other vertical industry applications. Vendors include DNS Europe, ScaleMatrix, Radix Technologies, Acolyst, GigaSpaces Technologies and CorePlus. Customers can also purchase CA Technologies enterprise-class products such as CA ARCserve, CA Service Desk Manager, and CA Oblicore Guarantee software, which have been configured as cloud appliances to run on CA AppLogic clouds.
Weve taken significant steps to advance Cloud Commons and make it the singular destination site for anyone using or interested in using cloud solutions, said Adam Famularo, general manager, Enterprise and Cloud Solutions, CA Technologies. Unlike other cloud service directories, Cloud Commons Marketplace allows users to aggregate cloud solutions and offers a seamless purchase experience between ISVs, service providers and enterprises. It addresses a critical need by helping the end user identify and buy the right cloud solution from the right cloud vendor, hosted by the right cloud service provider.
Buyers and sellers of cloud solutions and services use the Cloud Commons Marketplace to compare, procure, manage, and sell ongoing subscription-based cloud solutions, services and content. The Marketplace provides ISVs a new channel distribution opportunity and inbound marketing tool, while service providers can easily add to their service catalog, aggregate richer solutions and reach new customers with more robust offerings. Enterprise IT professionals can use the Marketplace to research and identify optimal services, deployment models and providers, as well as, purchase services seamlessly, all from one online location.
