CA Technologies and Logicalis, an international IT solutions and managed services provider, are extending their strategic relationship in the US to offer customers greater flexibility and choice for their enterprise-class cloud computing strategies.
As a Premier Service Provider partner, Logicalis offers a range of CA Technologies products to its end customers, including Nimsoft to deliver monitoring-as-a-service to its managed services customers. With the extension of this partnership, Logicalis’ customers can now select CA Automation Suite for Clouds from Logicalis’ cloud aggregation toolbox.
“Business services are the lifeblood of the enterprise, and fast delivery of quality services translates into increased productivity and competitiveness,” said Roger Pilc, GM of Industries, Solutions and Alliances at CA Technologies. “Logicalis has a strong history of working with its customers to respond to changing business demands. By offering automated cloud service delivery with CA Automation Suite for Clouds, customers become even more agile, sourcing and deploying new services quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.”
As enterprises come to rely on a wide variety of cloud services provided by many different vendors and running on different environments, management of those resources can become a challenge. Cloud automation helps IT professionals address this problem directly by aggregating management of all kinds of cloud services—regardless of where the cloud resides, how it was built or which vendor provided the underlying software or hardware. With this approach, IT can shift its focus from maintenance to innovation, becoming the valued broker of cloud services driving business productivity gains.
“At Logicalis, we take a consultative approach to creating cloud solutions, tailoring those solutions to each individual customer’s specific business and IT strategy. That often means managing a heterogeneous cloud environment with a host of third-party services, something that, without the right automation tools, can be a significant challenge,” said Mike Martin, VP of Cloud Solutions for Logicalis.
“At Logicalis, we’re both a customer and a provider of CA Automation Suite for Clouds. We rely on CA Technologies solutions in our own managed services and hosted cloud offerings that extend to hundreds of customers nationwide. And for clients that need to manage their own private or hybrid cloud solutions, CA Automation Suite for Clouds offers a solid choice for managing both physical and virtual resources. We are proud to have extended our relationship with CA Technologies to be able to offer our clients access to this important toolset.”
Organizations can help protect existing technology investments and avoid vendor lock-in with the open, modular and scalable fabric-based architecture of CA Automation Suite for Clouds that supports legacy environments, converged infrastructure, virtual fabrics and multiple hypervisors. CA Automation Suite for Clouds can also help customer to accelerate time-to-market for new services and reduce the cost and complexity of delivering hybrid clouds with its pre-integrated and extensible framework and automated provisioning capabilities.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
