CA has released a suite of enterprise IT management software tools that it’s calling the next “killer app” for virtualization. The first phase in the nascent industry — server consolidation — is well underway; the next big trend, according to CA, is the comprehensive management of virtual systems. “We have been working on managing virtual machines for many of our products already,” said CA executive Stephen Elliot. The new suite bundles previously released applications with new tools for support and management of both physical and virtual infrastructures.
