Sep 1, 2010 : VMware Acquires Integrien and TriCipher


📅 - New technologies expand vCenter management portfolio and enable more efficient provisioning of SaaS applications for end user computing.

VMware, Inc., a provider of virtualization solutions from the desktop to the data center and to the cloud, yesterday announced that it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire Integrien, a provider in 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. The company adds that both acquisitions are expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2010. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed by it.

The company states that Integrien's patented real-time performance analytics solution helps customers simplify the complexity of managing application and infrastructure performance by transforming data from existing management tools into actionable intelligence. Combined with VMware vCenter management products, Integrien's capabilities enable its customers to achieve the level of automation and control required for virtualized and cloud infrastructures.

It explains that as customers evolve to a hybrid cloud composed of customer-owned and SaaS applications, internal and external infrastructure clouds, technologies for identity federation, SaaS authentication and access management are required to deliver convenient application access for end users and security controls for IT. TriCipher's capabilities will support company's multiple initiatives, including identity-based security, integration of hybrid clouds and managed access to SaaS application from any device, where and when a user needs it.

"Today's IT organizations are under pressure to increase service levels and build the next-generation infrastructure and applications for the cloud - all with the resources they have today," said Boaz Chalamish, Vice President and General Manager, Management Products, VMware. "The dynamic nature of modern infrastructures and cloud environments requires a new management paradigm, and VMware is uniquely positioned to build on the foundation of virtualization and fundamentally improve how organizations manage IT services."

"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," said Brian Byun, Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Services and Applications, VMware. "TriCipher brings to VMware important authentication and identity technologies that will accelerate our delivery of new solutions for hybrid cloud integration and end user computing."

"VMware has led the transformation of IT infrastructure, significantly reducing complexity through virtualization," said Dale Quayle, President and CEO, Integrien. "As such, VMware is the company that is best-equipped to redefine the IT management discipline for this new world. We are very excited to join VMware and align around a management vision that can deliver value for both our customers and employees."

"TriCipher has been a pioneer in the field of identity and access management as a service, providing secure authentication and seamless single sign on access to over 3,000 public and private web and SaaS applications," said John De Santis, Chairman and CEO of TriCipher. "We are excited to join the VMware family and further build on our foundational technology to fulfill VMware's cloud and end user computing vision."
