CA, Inc. to acquire privately-held NetQoS® Inc.ISLANDIA, NY and AUSTIN, TX – September 14, 2009 – CA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CA), the world’s leading independent IT management software company, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held NetQoS® Inc., a leading provider of network performance management and service delivery solutions, for $200 million. “CA offers the industry’s strongest and most complete service assurance and delivery portfolio,” said Ajei Gopal, executive vice president of CA’s Products and Technology Group. “With the addition of the NetQoS network flow monitoring, unified communications management, and response time analytic network solutions, CA will further strengthen its ability to help enterprise IT organizations and service providers deliver reliable, flexible and cost-effective IT and business services.” “NetQoS customers and partners will benefit from CA’s extraordinary development capabilities, outstanding sales force, and global customer support infrastructure,” said Joel Trammell, chief executive officer, NetQoS. “NetQoS’ solutions will strengthen CA’s ability to deliver to its customers service-centric insight into network, systems and application performance—with no visibility gaps.” CA is a recognized leader in the management of networks, systems, application performance, and cloud computing.* NetQoS’ industry-leading solutions will extend CA’s capabilities in each of these areas. CA’s acquisition of NetQoS builds on the assets CA acquired from Cassatt earlier this year, as well as CA’s organically developed CA Spectrum® Automation Manager for dynamic performance-based automation of physical, virtual and cloud computing environments. As enterprises and service providers become increasingly reliant on the shared infrastructure of private and public computing clouds, CA and NetQoS will provide a robust level of network and systems traffic management that will be critical to successfully delivering cloud-based services. Founded ten years ago, NetQoS has more than 1,000 active customers worldwide, including many in the Fortune 100. With annual revenue of $56 million in 2008, NetQoS’ revenues have experienced a 58 percent CAGR over the past five fiscal years.  |
