action to be taken before internal and external
customers are impacted. Extensive reporting
includes trending analysis so IT operations can
be informed and proactive on how to plan and

operational model of the infrastructure. CA
Spectrum provides an automated approach
to discovering, monitoring and managing
host physical servers and their guest virtual

eliminate the need for a domain- or vendor-
specific tool.

CA NSM provides automated management
of diverse physical and virtual environments
through a single, consolidated console. NSM
makes the connections between people,
processes and the various management tools
being used. It helps identify operational issues
before end users or critical services are impact-
ed, allowing IT organizations to establish their
priorities according to business requirements.
Through clear visualization and policy-driven
self-management, NSM effectively monitors
and optimizes critical system resources ensur-
ing availability and performance levels, dynam-
ically meeting the variable demand of today’s
most complex business-critical processes.
