EMC acquires application discovery and mapping partner nLayers
Not even a month after EMC announced it had used nLayers technology in its Application Discovery Manager (ADM) appliance, EMC today made public that it acquired the privately-held application discovery and mapping company.
The acquisition gives EMC full access to the technology many industry watchers say is much-needed to more quickly find and fix application performance problems and prevent end users from experiencing any service degradation. While EMC is working on its information lifecycle management strategy, one of its acquired technologies -- SMARTS -- can put this technology to use to better manage distributed applications. The technology can show network managers how and what IT resources applications touch in a large distributed network -- a capability that could come in handy when network managers want to roll out network and system resources on demand.
