ScaleMatrix, a new managed service provider (MSP) run by data center industry veterans, has chosen CA^® 3Tera^® AppLogic^® software in a three-year contract valued at $3.06 million.  Check out the release for complete details.

To launch and build the business, ScaleMatrix needed a single platform to provide multiple cloud offerings, including application hosting, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Virtual Private Data Centers (VPDCs).  ScaleMatrix will also use CA 3Tera AppLogic to provide scalability and high availability for business services running in the company's cloud environments.

"We selected CA 3Tera AppLogic software because it was the best solution on the market to help us quickly and cost-effectively ramp-up our cloud services business," said Mark Ortenzi, CEO of ScaleMatrix. "The solution works on a range of hardware, including x86 commodity servers, to significantly reduce our upfront infrastructure investment, and gives us the flexibility to expand geographically without incurring the sky-high costs associated with global infrastructure deployments."

ScaleMatrix was launched in 2010 and founded by Mark Ortenzi, Bill Kraus, Mike Vignato, and Paul Marble, long-time veterans of the technology industry. What sets ScaleMatrix apart from other cloud service providers is its ability to control the entire process on behalf of its customers. ScaleMatrix architects, deploys, and manages the entire solution in any one of its 12 data centers across the United States or in a customer's own private data center.  

"This deal is the largest CA 3Tera AppLogic platform customer license agreement to date. More importantly, ScaleMatrix is now a key partner in our efforts to help IT organizations use cloud computing to change how they bring technology services to market," said Adam Famularo, general manager, Cloud Computing business, CA Technologies.  "With its broad set of offerings and deep knowledge of the CA 3Tera AppLogic platform, ScaleMatrix is a credible MSP partner that will enable CA Technologies to deliver the true power of the hybrid cloud."
