BMC Software has announced it is buying privately held IT
systems analytics vendor ProactiveNet. Terms of the deal have not
been disclosed.
ProactiveNet makes BSM (business service management) software
that focuses on helping IT collect systems data, which is then
analyzed for potential problems. ProactiveNet's software can
automatically alert IT staffs to problems and suggest remedies.
BMC says it aims to combine its performance-transaction and
event-management software with ProactiveNet's to help businesses
further automate their IT operations.
