CA Technologies last week announced the acquisition of privately-held 4Base Technology, a virtualization and cloud infrastructure consulting firm. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
4Base will become the CA Virtualization and Cloud Strategy group, a competency practice within the CA Services division.
With experience in more than 300 engagements, 4Base will help customers move quickly, pragmatically and successfully from virtualization to cloud by providing strategic advice and implementation expertise.
Andi Mann, vice president of virtualization product marketing at CA, notes in his blog post, this acquisition will help customers overcome the many difficult barriers to adopting and expanding virtualization and cloud computing, including staffing and skills issues, Line-of-Business (LOB) issues, ‘VM sprawl’ and ‘VM stall’, and heterogeneous virtualization knowledge.
