CA, Inc. : CloudTerrain Uses CA AppLogic Cloud Platform to Deliver Enterprise Class Business Applications to SME Customers

Leading MSP Enjoys Benefits From Faster Roll-Out, Lower Development Costs and Higher Application Quality

HONG KONG, February 4, 2013  - CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that CloudTerrain Limited, a leading regional managed service provider (MSP) has used the CA AppLogic® Cloud Platform to rapidly launch its  first SaaS-based Document Management System (DMS) to SME customers in the legal and insurance industries.

By offering SaaS solutions, CloudTerrain is enabling its customers to acquire functionally-rich and cost-effective IT capabilities under a "pay as you go" model that virtually eliminates capital costs and that can readily scale up and down according to business requirements.

CloudTerrain is a comprehensive managed service provider (MSP) with full complement of highly trained and motivated professional IT experts that can advise and deliver both cloud computing and green IT solutions. CloudTerrain offers business efficient and cost-effective IT solutions to enterprises that not only improve environmental sustainability but also extend the value and functionality of the enterprises' IT investments through cloud-based solutions.

The CloudTerrain Document Management System uses a Software-as-a-Service delivery model. As a result, customers can harness the full capability of the solution and pay only according to the resources and duration of usage. The flexibility and cost-efficiency gained using this solution makes it an attractive option for companies looking to get maximum value for their investment dollars.

CloudTerrain's DMS solution provides customers with a centralized repository for managing access to documents, images, video and other digital files.  The system features a web-based interface that enables authorized users to access the DMS anywhere with any device.  Rules-based security makes it easy to control users' rights to read, download or print files.

CA AppLogic enabled CloudTerrain to quickly design, develop deploy and manage its SaaS DMS solution while reducing costs and risks. It does this by facilitating the creation of virtual business services across private and public clouds using an intuitive virtual interface that makes it easy to define how an application is provisioned across multiple virtual infrastructure resources.

CA AppLogic also provides a browser-based interface for monitoring cloud applications after they are rolled out into production.  This further enhances the ease, efficiency and reliability with which MSPs can deliver cloud solutions to their customers.

"Our vision is to offer SMEs affordable, enterprise-class SaaS services that empower them to become more competitive, more agile and more efficient," said Edward Ng, Business Director of CloudTerrain.  "CA AppLogic is a sophisticated cloud service delivery platform that helps us quickly deliver these services while ensuring our ability to achieve 99.95% availability."

"Changing customer requirements have created a tremendous marketing opportunity for SaaS solutions and other cloud-based offerings," said Vander Ng, alliance director, Hong Kong and Taiwan, CA Technologies. "By adopting the CA AppLogic cloud platform, CloudTerrain has been able to successfully capture this market opportunity."
