CA Wants to Be the Enterprise Watchdog in the Cloud

GigaOM
Appirio: Appirio would bring a much-needed services angle to CA’s cloud offerings. Managing and monitoring services and infrastructure is great, but helping customers transition to cloud computing and/or SaaS, even helping them develop new cloud-based applications, adds an incredible amount of value to any company serious about pushing cloud solutions. Appirio also offers Cloud Connectors, which bridge Salesforce.com applications with Google Apps, Amazon Web Services and/or Facebook. But the services business would be the real key if CA made this move.
