CA offers broad support for latest Microsoft releases

The CA division at Workgroup has announced it is now well positioned to provide broad-based support for Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 across CA's product lines to enable Microsoft customers to effectively manage, govern and secure even complex enterprise environments.

CA's support for these products gives IT organisations the ability to manage the new versions in a manner that is consistent with the rest of their enterprise assets and services.

This is according to John Thompson, CA product manager at Workgroup, who says customers have expressed enthusiasm around the vibrant eco-system that has developed around Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008.
