Aug, 2002 : IBM Buys Storage Solution Firm TrelliSoft

📅 August 30, 2002 - IBM announced yesterday that it has acquired TrelliSoft, a privately-held provider of storage resource management software based in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.

TrelliSoft specializes in Java and Web-based storage resource management to support multiple platforms, including Windows NT, Windows 2000, HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, Red Hat Linux and others.
Storage resource management serves as the dashboard for the storage environment by providing a set of automated tools that address multiple aspects of the storage infrastructure, including capacity, availability, event, performance and asset management.
IBM acquired TrelliSoft to help meet an increasing customer need to manage costs associated with the proliferation of data storage and to increase storage resource availability. TrelliSoft will be integrated immediately into IBM Software Group, and TrelliSoft products are available now from IBM Tivoli Software. The Trellisoft SRM solution will complement SRM products currently under development at IBM.
"With this acquisition," says Robert LeBlanc, general manager, IBM Tivoli Software, "we will accelerate our ability to deliver a high-quality product that meets our customers' needs for storage management. This enables customers to more effectively and efficiently manage their storage resources, and, as a result, improve their return on investment."
