"We've got a campaign to reduce those numbers," he said. The company used about 120 CA-owned products in its IT environment and almost another 1,000 enterprise apps in its environment - a figure Savage concedes is too high. Its production server environment - numbering in the several thousand machines - was about 45 percent virtualised on VMware and growing. Infrastructure within the private clouds was "almost 100 percent virtualised." "With our product set for provisioning, becoming more and more seamless," Savage said. Both were able to burst to public clouds in peak periods, partially through the use of CA's own software. Savage said CA Technologies had two "private clouds" - one for technical demonstrations and the other for lab tests. " means that if someone wants to work on an iPad, a Macbook or a PC, doesn't discriminate," Savage said. Although it has 13,000 employees, the company has over 27,000 desktops and laptops on its books. Savage said desktop virtualisation would enable CA to "get out of the business of laptops". "I thought there would be more resistance. You can eliminate that whole frustration when you've got a virtual desktop.

"And when you've got a laptop you're constantly pushing software updates which frustrate the end user. He put that down to two things: "There's no latency," he said. Savage said it was a challenge understanding the "cultural aspects of virtualising the desktop" but said that pilot users had taken to the model. The pilot uses VMware View software and Wyse thin client terminals. "We have 20 people or so experimenting."ĬA is also running a "substantial" desktop virtualisation project internally covering 500 sales, developer and administrative staff. "We have a very small pilot running virtualisation the iPad - Wyse has an iPad app that accommodates that," Savage said. CA Technologies - formerly CA - has revealed that 20 of its staff are piloting Apple iPads running the Wyse PocketCloud app to test the viability of the device in the enterprise.Ĭhief information officer Stephen Savage - himself an iPad owner - talked up the benefits it could offer workers in a wider discussion on virtual desktop infrastructure plans.
