Install CA Server Automation

CA Server Automation is the component of CA Automation Suite for Clouds that monitors and manages data center resources, both physical and virtual. The component integrates and automates provisioning processes, standardizes configurations, and simplifies workflows to manage the complexity of continuously changing virtual environments.

Installing CA Server Automation also installs the CA Systems Performance for Infrastructure Managers (formerly known as CA SystemEDGE) agent that lets you remotely manage computers. The agent helps access information about the system configuration, status, performance, users, processes, and the file systems on the remote systems. The agent also enables reporting and managing exceptions, calculation of object severity, and status information. The CA Systems Performance for Infrastructure Managers agent must be installed on the remote system to fetch information about the system.
