The Isilon storage division of EMC has acquired Likewise Software that provides software for managing unstructured data. The announcement came close on the heels of announcement of EMC’s acquisition of Pivotal Labs.
In a letter posted on the website of Likewise its CEO Barry Crist wrote, “I am thrilled to announce that Likewise has been acquired by the Isilon Storage Division of EMC Corporation. With the acquisition, we are joining a broad technology portfolio of world-class storage solutions at EMC.”
Likewise was founded seven years ago with a focus on providing an easy method for organisations to manage access and data across Windows, Linux & Unix, and Mac environments. Likewise helps enterprises of all sizes store and manage unstructured data across diverse computing platforms and environments.
In his letter, Crist further stated, “With the acquisition, the Likewise team will be joining the leader in all meaningful segments of the storage industry, including one that is very dear to us: unstructured data storage and management. EMC is a great family for ours to join, and I predict that many of the best times for the Likewise team are still ahead of us.”
