CA SPF 100 Program Offers IAM Migration Deal for Sun Customers; Increases Value of Security Investment with Measurable Results in 60 to 90 Days
ISLANDIA, N.Y., June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sparked by industry consolidation and increased interest in CA's Security Management solutions, CA (Nasdaq: CA) has created a program to migrate Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: JAVA) customers to CA Identity and Access Management (IAM) products.
"CA SPF 100" allows Sun customers to trade their Sun product(1) licenses for equivalent licenses of CA Identity Manager, CA Role & Compliance Manager or CA SiteMinder -- essentially a 100 percent discount on the license fee. This program, which runs until March 31, 2010, also applies to Oracle customers(2) who are interested in switching to CA IAM solutions. Under this program, customers of the Sun and Oracle products shall receive CA licenses for the same number of authorized users of the Sun or Oracle products as of the date of the CA product migration license transaction. The only cost to the customer will be the charge of standard annual maintenance for the new CA products to ensure support going forward.
Customers taking advantage of this offer can also benefit from CA's optional Rapid Implementation service offerings to help accelerate the migration to CA's solutions. These services are designed to help customers who purchase them see value from their security investment in as little as 60 to 90 days, and they include CA training from CA Education to help customers quickly take advantage of all the products' capabilities.
"IDC forecasts that the identity and access management market will reach $4.8 billion by 2013, exclusive of professional services," said Christian A. Christiansen, program vice president, Security Products and Services, IDC. "Among the IAM market leaders, CA offers an extremely comprehensive solution set that will provide the foundation for the rapidly evolving IT market."
In a recent study examining security spending in today's economy, respondents said they will acquire or plan to acquire identity and access management technologies over the next 12 months.(3) Those technologies include solutions to manage the identity lifecycle such as Role Management, User Management, and Web Access Management. CA was positioned in the leaders quadrant in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for User Provisioning(4) and for Web Access Management.(5) These reports are available compliments of CA. With leading and robust solutions from CA available at an attractive offer through the CA SPF 100 program, there is no need to delay moving forward on any identity and access management initiatives.
