CA Technologies inks Facebook Datacenter Deal

To bring together millions of energy-related data points from physical and IT resources in its global data centers for improving power efficiency, CA Technologies has announced that Facebook is using its CA DCIM (CA Data Center Infrastructure Management) software. 

Tom Furlong, VP, Infrastructure Data Centers, Facebook, stated, “We are on a mission to help connect the world, and our IT infrastructure is core to our success. We are continually looking at ways to optimize our data centers and bringing all of our energy-related information together in one spot was a core requirement.” 

“Every single day, 728 million people actively use Facebook and expectations around quality of service, availability and reliability are extremely high. This places significant demands on the IT infrastructure with little room for error or costly inefficiencies. Facebook’s IT team can now bring this energy-related data into their broader DCIM system for an even more complete view of overall system status,” said Terrence Clark, SVP, Infrastructure Management, CA Technologies.

Upon completion of the pilot, Facebook worked with CA to create a custom solution to deliver on the energy-related DCIM requirements today and in the future, in terms of technology innovation and CA’s ability to execute with speed and scalability, as well as working together to adjust and fine-tune associated business objectives.
