LIVE FROM VMWORLD: CA Technologies and Aternity Partner for Desktop End User Experience Management

Aternity and CA Technologies have formed a technology partnership to provide customers with proactive end user experience management from the desktop vantage point.

The integration of the Aternity Frontline Performance Intelligence (FPI) Platform with CA Application Performance Management (APM) is designed to provide enterprises with extensive end-to-end visibility of any transaction within any Windows application running on any desktop across all tiers of the enterprise.

The Aternity FPI Platform is integrated with CA APM, pulling in real-time Aternity metrics for viewing in the CA APM dashboard. This delivers a consolidated view of CA APM and Aternity data, providing extensive insight into end-to-end application performance – from the desktop to the back-end to the cloud.

With real-time analytics, customers can detect problems proactively and conduct probable cause analyses of end user issues before business is disrupted. The combination of CA Technologies and Aternity products will help organizations to transform into user-centric proactive IT management enterprises. Customers can dramatically reduce business disruption and increase user productivity by being able to uniquely detect and pinpoint the cause of application performance problems across all tiers of the IT infrastructure.

“This partnership demonstrates CA Technologies commitment to further expand our industry-leading, full-featured Application Performance Management portfolio,” says Mike Sargent, GM, Service Assurance, CA Technologies. “As IT organizations continue to evolve dynamically across traditional, virtual and hybrid cloud environments, it’s important that they have the capabilities to help ensure the quality of the end user experience from the desktop.”
