Sun Enhances N-1 With Provisioning

Wohl on Sun buying CenterRun -

Today, CenterRun is a multi-platform product. Sun pledges to keep it that way, although they believe that Sun customers will prefer it on Sun Solaris. (We hope they avoid the software acquisition trap of pledging support to other platforms and then failing to provide timely updates. That would be too bad.)

Sun seems pleased that its newest acquisition provisions at the application level, rather than at the operating system level. But we have yet to see anyone’s full portfolio for this important new automated systems management market – and there are lots of other acquisitions still to be made – so we will bide our time before declaring a winner.
