CA Technologies shares at Cisco Live how its software can enable network engineers to guarantee application delivery and manage data center performance.
Cisco Live attendees will hear about more than just the network giant’s tablet product plans. The Las Vegas show also gives Cisco partners the opportunity to showcase how their wares can monitor, manage and optimize Cisco environments.
On the heels of Cisco’s introduction of its Cius tablet, CA Technologies will be presenting to IT and network professionals at Cisco Live on how they can better manage virtual machines, ensure optimal application delivery and take on performance management in Cisco data centers.
To start, the software maker will host the CA Technologies Super Session, which is expected to draw some 1,400 show goers pre-registered for the event at Cisco Live. According to Kenneth Mills, principal technical marketing manager (also hosting his own session “Assuring Application Delivery with Cisco and CA Technologies), the show floor flooded with people looking to learn more about Cisco and how vendors like CA Technologies can help them get more from their existing environments.
“The show turnout has been as good as it has ever been,” Mills says. “The audience seems to be as healthy and energetic as always, and we are able to discuss how our products target the end users here. This is a laser-focused show for us.”
Mills says he plans to provide use case examples for attendees of his sessions. For instance, he says CA Technologies can baseline normal behavior for each application before, say, a network engineer decides to migrate to voice over IP. The baseline would then enable network engineers to see how the converged applications are impacted when sharing network resources. Potential fixes for performance degradations, if any did occur, could be appropriate traffic classifications, for instance. Mills says Cisco Live attendees can expect a standing room only environment in the CA Technologies booth for presentations that will help them better manage data center migrations, network upgrades or VoIP deployments.
“We have the products that can help in every aspect of what a network engineer does on a daily basis from fault management and troubleshooting to monitoring the performance of converged applications to handling Cisco’s new UCS environment to managing and partitioning Cisco servers in the cloud,” Mills says. “Really with every piece of Cisco technology, we can help people take advantage of the embedded monitoring capability or NetFlow traffic analysis and help them better manage their Cisco environment.”
