Squiz Selects CA 3Tera AppLogic Platform to Power New Cloud Computing Service



Leading Australian web content provider to deliver web content management solutions worldwide using CA Technologies cloud computing platform

Sydney, 31 March 2011 – CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) has today announced that leading Australian web solutions provider Squiz has chosen CA 3Tera AppLogic software as its cloud computing platform. With the software, Squiz delivers its product suite to customers in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering. Customers can build, manage, and deliver customized sites using Squiz’s scalable and highly available CA 3Tera AppLogic-based cloud environments.

The CA 3Tera AppLogic platform is used by managed service providers (MSPs) and innovative enterprises around the world as the foundation for their cloud computing offerings. Customers can build cloud infrastructure in real time, to quickly develop, deploy and manage complex online applications - significantly reducing time-to-market for new business services, while simultaneously increasing margin.

With over 200 employees, Squiz is one of Australia’s leading content management system providers, delivering on-demand web services via a global network of local offices responding to local client needs. Squiz can now quickly implement solutions for its global base of over 1,000 organisations using the single-integrated CA 3Tera AppLogic cloud platform.

 “For some time Squiz has been seeking a product that can streamline the deployment process without sacrificing redundancy and high availability”, said John Paul Syriatowicz, Managing Director, Squiz Pty. “Cloud delivery with the CA 3Tera AppLogic platform is scalable and affordable, providing global users with secure and reliable access to our applications while helping our customers contain costs,” continued Syriatowicz.

Clare Bowen, Team Leader, Business Improvement Corporate Service at Cairns Regional Council, believes that the company is already beginning to reap the benefits of the new solution.

“During the recent cyclone in far north Queensland, Squiz was able to move our website into their cloud environment to ensure it would remain live and updated in the event that the Council suffered a loss of its ICT services. The website experienced a huge increase in visitors as individuals relied upon our site to access evacuation maps and other emergency information. We’ve been really impressed with Squiz’s service and via its new cloud hosting software, we’ve definitely seen improved response times which has helped us cope with the website demand.”

Brenton Smith, Vice President & General Manager, CA Technologies Australia & New Zealand said this partnership demonstrates the company’s position as a cloud enabler.

“Cloud computing is changing the way IT delivers services to business users and understanding this, CA Technologies is committed to helping organisations keep pace. The success we’ve had in implementing CA 3Tera AppLogic software for Squiz is a great example of how our cloud platform is helping change the way organisations bring their services to market.”
