CA and VMware are going to jointly develop a management solution and, to start, have signed a deal to make CA Data Center Automation Manager interoperate with VMware Stage Manager.

The joint solution is designed so enterprises and cloud service providers can seamlessly provision applications and resources from both corporate datacenter and service provider clouds.

VMware has been talking to CIOs and that's how they see themselves using clouds.

The widgetry is supposed to help users test, stage, and deploy complex applications in virtual environments, and let applications hosted on virtualized servers be operation-ready and able to be monitored and secured quickly to speed deployment.

VMware Stage Manager accelerates a business application through integration, test and staging and into production. It can clone multi-tier systems, so the exact replica of the production environment is used throughout the release process.

CA Data Center Automation Manager, meanwhile, is a key component in CA's new cloud management strategy and is supposed to optimize the entire development process through collaboration, lifecycle automation, standards enforcement and configuration audit and control.
