Symantec acquires data center management software

By Sumner Lemon , IDG News Service , 02/08/2006

Symantec Tuesday announced plans to acquire Relicore, a provider of data center management software, as part of a bid to round out its offerings for data center customers.

The acquisition is expected to be completed during the middle of this month. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Symantec is buying Relicore to get its hands on Relicore Clarity, a management tool that offers the ability to discover and track changes to application and server components in a data center. This eliminates the need to track changes manually and can speed up troubleshooting efforts in the event that an upgrade causes a problem, Symantec said.

The software can also help to ensure that policies required by regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, are enforced with related systems, the company said

Relicore Clarity will be available as a stand-alone product through Symantec's sales channel from March 1, assuming the acquisition is completed as planned, the company said.
