Sun finalizes SevenSpace buy

Sun Tuesday announced it had finalized its acquisition of SevenSpace, an IT services company that will expand the server maker’s managed service offerings by providing expertise beyond Sun’s hardware and Solaris operating system.

In the past, Sun’s remote services have centered primarily on Solaris-based systems. By integrating the SevenSpace technology into its offerings, Sun now will be able to offer customers support on competing operating systems such as HP-UX, IBM AIX, Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Linux, Sun executives say.

SevenSpace provides remote system monitoring and management for applications including SAP, Oracle e-business suites, PeopleSoft and Siebel; databases including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server; operating systems, including Solaris, Windows and Linux; and network devices.
