EITM Integration Program Goals
1. Develop EITM Business Use Cases & requirements based on market
demand that put key solution integrations into a business context
that enable CA to:
> Articulate and demonstrate Thought Leadership around EITM
> Provide EITM Business Use Cases to the business units to improve
product solutions and multi-product integration
> Provide best practices, methodologies, and components that
enable CA Services to execute on key integrations in the field
2. Work with customers, CA architects, and consultants to gather and
verify requirements as we proceed
3. Work with the BUs to ensure that integrations follow ‘best practices,’
are supported, and robust.
Integration gaps are identified and prioritized

RESULTS
> Create the EITM Use Case
Factory environment
> Create a collection of standard
images across all solutions
> Build integrated solutions and
reference architectures
> Enhance the LoD by increasing
server availability and using
virtualization
> Support Traceability to
Playbooks through Use Cases
Introduction – EITM Use Case Factory
CHALLENGE
> Improve customer success
> Reduce risk of integrations
> Enhance field experience &
confidence “horizontally”
SOLUTION
> Make “Playbooks” real
> Develop a “factory” for building
and testing integrations
> Focus on standardization and
consistency of delivery
9 October 2008 EITM and the Use Case Factory Copyright © 2008 CA9
LIMITATIONS
> Images are for an ESX
environment not laptops
> Model not duplicate customer
environments
> LAB only – no transition into
production
> Specific standards and policies
in place for images
> Focus is on the 80/20 rule –
those things that are active
Benefits & Limitations
BENEFITS
> Create a robust sand-box
environment for
> Testing customer scenarios
> Building integrations
> Focusing on Use Cases
> Showcasing POC
> Documenting approaches
> Knowledge Transfer
> Fixing bugs
> Faster “Time to Value”

Understanding Virtual Environments
13 October 2008 EITM and the Use Case Factory Copyright © 2008 CA13
Virtualization
> What is a “Virtual” Environment
Platform virtualization –
separates an operating system
from the underlying platform
Resource virtualization –
abstractions of specific servers,
storage and network resources
Application virtualization –
hosting of individual
applications on alien platforms
Desktop virtualization – remote
manipulation of desktop
14 October 2008 EITM and the Use Case Factory Copyright © 2008 CA14
Virtualization Support at CA
> What are the common virtual
platforms and differences
VMWare Workstation (supported on
Laptops)
VMWare ESX (EITM Use Case
Factory environment)
VMWare Server – GSX (not
supported officially)
Microsoft Virtual PC (not supported)
Microsoft Hyper-V (not supported)
15 October 2008 EITM and the Use Case Factory Copyright © 2008 CA15
SETUP
> Take the appropriate training
and be familiar with the
relevant playbooks
> Be familiar with the ESX Client
Infrastructure environment
> Stick to documented policies
and procedures
> Be diligent of network related
configurations (hostname,
vLANS, etc…)
> Limit of 1 physical ESX box
Design and Setup
DESIGN
> Focus on Use Cases as
documented in the Playbook
> Focus on documented
procedures in Green Books
> Focus on critical pieces of
solution not client modifications
> Focus on key integrations and
process touch points
> Focus on the overarching role
experience
16 October 2008 EITM and the Use Case Factory Copyright © 2008 CA16
PERFORMANCE
> Performance of Virtual
environment will differ from
native format
> Stress testing should be
performed on solutions to
determine weaknesses
> Be sure to stop unnecessary
services
> Conversations between VM
environments is possible but
not recommended
Implementation and Performance
IMPLEMENTATION
> Focus on using the EITM Factory
Images & Image Collections to
start with
> Plan for integration with the
standard Directory Server if
possible
> Access between ESX boxes is
not supported
> Snapshots are limited to one in
ESX environment
17 October 2008 EITM and the Use Case Factory Copyright © 2008 CA17
Labs on Demand (LoD)
> Supporting virtualization with Labs on Demand
VMWare Workstation – Load onto Provisioned Server
Virtual Session – Provisioned from LoD Homepage
VMWare ESX – Provisioned from LoD Homepage

> Understanding Images and Image
Collections
Images are divided up as they would
normally be by a typical customer
Images collections are built to
support a typical customer
implementation
