VMware acquires Integrien

SAN FRANCISCO — VMware is acquiring Integrien, an infrastructure management vendor.

CTO Steve Herrod just made the announcement during his VMworld 2010 keynote. He didn’t say much about the acquisition, but Integrien’s real-time infrastructure monitoring, analysis and alerting capabilities clearly fit in with VMware’s virtual data center/cloud computing vision.

The company’s flagship product is Integrien Alive for Enterprise, which integrates with dozens of monitoring tools and analyzes the data they collect. And just today the company introduced AliveVM, a VMware-specific management product.
