CA to support Enterprise Deployment and Management of Windows 7 |
|
|
CA, Inc. has said that it is delivering support for the deployment and management of the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system (OS).  This capability is designed to help organizations to streamline the transition to Windows 7, increase productivity, reduce risk by providing for desktop security, maintain end-user productivity, lower ongoing support issues, and to reduce the overall cost of the deployment, CA said. The company said its customers are already taking advantage of CA’s system migration capabilities intended to enable the management, movement and maintenance of user data, settings and preferences during PC change initiatives such as a transition to Windows 7. CA touted the example of Baker Tilly, one of the world’s largest networks of accounting firms that was also one of the earliest adopters of Windows 7. It used CA’s IT Client Manager to migrate over 2,000 PCs from Windows XP to an early release candidate of Windows 7 over the course of four weeks in June 2009, and cut migration time to 2.5 weeks when Windows 7 was released. The company managed to reduce deployment time in half and do so with minimal impact to the users, CA said. Roger Pilc, corporate senior vice president and general manager of CA’s Virtualization and Service Automation Business Unit said Microsoft's announcement about the end of mainstream support for Windows XP means its time for most enterprises to move to Windows 7. He said "CA is here to help our customers achieve a seamless transition from Windows XP to Windows 7 with a solution that is designed to automate every step of the process.” |
