Version Compatibility

CA Performance Center 2.4.1 uses code and user interface design features derived from CA NetQoS Performance Center version 6.1. However, the two products are distinct in multiple ways, and they do not support the same data sources.

CA Performance Center is fully compatible with the following CA Technologies products:

• CA Infrastructure Management Data Aggregator
• CA Network Flow Analysis
• CA Application Delivery Analysis
• CA Unified Communications Monitor
• CA Spectrum
• CA Application Performance Management
• CA eHealth
• Anomaly Detector

Find an updated listing of supported data source product versions on the product page on the CA Support website.

The CA Event Manager data source that is installed automatically with the CA Performance Center software is the only version that is compatible with CA Performance Center 2.4.1.

Some CA products do not yet offer support for CA Performance Center 2.4.1. Compatibility with NetQoS Performance Center does not ensure support for CA Performance Center.

For the following product versions, CA NetQoS Performance Center version 6.1 (or version 6.1 with service packs) is required:

• Transaction Insight Manager (TIM) on the CA Multi-Port Monitor (CA APM and CA Multi-Port Collector convergence)

  If you plan to deploy TIM on the Multi-Port Monitor, NetQoS Performance Center 6.1 is required. Later versions are not supported.

• CA Unified Communications Monitor versions 3.6, 3.7
• CA Application Performance Management version 9.5
