What’s the Market Opportunity? — This is a large and growing market opportunity! — Based on IDC Market analysis, there are key drivers in line with CA’s Service Assurance strategy that position CA for revenue and market share growth: − Rising complexity of datacenter environments due to greater use of virtualization, SOA, and emerging cloud computing architectures that require more sophisticated performance monitoring, analysis, and capacity planning − Increasing use of performance and availability management software tools by Managed Service Providers (MSP’s) and SMB customers − Increasing demand for higher levels of IT accountability in the form of service level management, business service management and end-to-end customer experience monitoring for mission-critical applications and workloads − Continuing economic pressures and emphasis on achieving cost savings and improving return on investment ( Performance and Availability Management tools that improve utilization and reduce downtime are particular attractive in this environment.)
These drivers directly relate to the strengths of CA Service Assurance: Infrastructure and Application Performance monitoring, capacity planning, service level and business service management
