In what appears to be a disturbing trend among management software vendors, another alarming acquisition took place today. In a deal worth $56.5 million in cash, Quest Software annouced their takeover of Vintela - the leading provider of enterprise management tools for the UNIX/Linux platform. How this will effect the product's integration with SMS/MOM has yet to unfold.
The official press release is available at: http://www.vintela.com/news/articles/rel_article06.pdf
P.S. Hey Microsoft! What was your bid?
