VMware has agreed to acquire Integrien, a provider of real time application and infrastructure performance analytics software, and TriCipher, a provider of secure access management and enterprise identity federation for cloud hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) applications.
Both acquisitions are expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2010, while financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Using Integrien’s patented real-time performance analytics offering, customers are able to simplify managing application and infrastructure performance by transforming data from existing management tools into actionable intelligence, VMware said.
Combined with VMware vCenter management products, Integrien’s offerings enables VMware customers to achieve the level of automation and control required for virtualised and cloud infrastructures.
TriCipher will bring in identity-based security, integration of hybrid clouds and managed access to SaaS application from any device, anywhere and anytime a user needs it.
VMware cloud services and applications vice president and general manager Brian Byun said that customers are increasingly looking for ways to take advantage of the flexibility and new services in the public cloud and want to extend the security and control of their private clouds to this new environment.
"TriCipher brings to VMware important authentication and identity technologies that will accelerate our delivery of new offerings for hybrid cloud integration and end user computing," Byun added.
