EMC Announces Acquisition Of Configuresoft

EMC, a provider of information infrastructure solutions, has announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held Configuresoft - a provider of server configuration, change and compliance management software. This announcement extends EMC’s solutions for managing the entire IT information infrastructure across storage, networks, servers, and applications – enabling customers to automate visibility and control across physical and virtual data centres. The transaction is expected to close in June, subject to customary closing conditions and is not expected to have a material impact to revenue or EPS for the full 2009 fiscal year.

The announcement builds upon an already successful OEM relationship with Configuresoft. EMC entered this OEM agreement in mid-2008 and the resulting products of EMC Server Configuration Manager and EMC Configuration Analytics Manager are currently helping customers quickly adopt virtualisation, cut costs, monitor policy and security compliance, and ensure GRC across their infrastructures.
