CA Completes NetQoS Acquisition

CA has completed its $200 million acquisition of NetQoS, a provider of network performance management and service delivery management solutions.

The addition of the NetQoS network-centric response time analytics, flow monitoring, and unified communications management solutions enables CA to offer a comprehensive service delivery and assurance portfolio, spanning network and systems management, application performance management, and virtualisation and cloud management.

"NetQoS enhances CA's ability to help enterprise IT organisations and service providers deliver cost-effective IT and business services," said Ajei Gopal, executive vice president of CA's Products and Technology Group. "We can now offer customers the ability to deliver service-centric insight into network, systems and application performance, across physical, virtual and cloud environments, with no visibility gaps."

"Bringing CA and NetQoS together offers tremendous value to organisations challenged with delivering business-critical applications across increasingly complex network infrastructures," said Joel Trammell, former CEO of NetQoS and now senior vice president and general manager, CA.

Initially, NetQoS will operate as an independent entity within CA. CA plans to continue to make the NetQoS portfolio available as stand-alone products. CA also plans to proactively extend its position in network and systems management, application performance management, and cloud management by offering the NetQoS products as integrated components of these solutions.
