CA is steaming ahead with its push into virtualization-management software, touting a host of new apps that will help admins govern privileges and access to virtual systems.
CA’s new applications come as IT grapple with the migration from physical servers to the virtualized environment, which raises both security concerns and worries about the loss of visibility and control of the data center. Server Watch has the details.
CA continued its full-court press in the virtualization management software sector this week with the release of five new applications for its CA Virtual portfolio — including one, CA Virtual Privilege Manager, that governs access and privileges for any IT staffer accessing the hypervisor or service console.
Establishing who has access to which virtual images and controls has become especially crucial as virtualization has evolved from cramming all the data and applications running on multiple physical servers onto virtual machines to more of a dynamic, virtualized data center and IT infrastructure.
