Breaking: VMware Announces Intent to Acquire True Visibility Suite Business Unit of Blue Medora to Further Self-Driving Operations Strategy
VMware customers striving to optimize their applications and infrastructure have embraced VMware vRealize Operations to deliver self-driving operations management. Today, we’re announcing our intent to acquire the True Visibility Suite team and technology from Blue Medora to further our self-driving operations capabilities (read the post here).
Our customers are familiar with the True Visibility Suite products, as VMware has been both a partner of Blue Medora and a reseller of their products for years. VMware vRealize Operations has extended its reach to a growing number of applications, middleware software, clouds and hardware servers, storage devices, and more, with the help of the partnership with Blue Medora.
After close, we expect customers will benefit from the addition of the True Visibility Suite team and products to VMware. We anticipate that the integration of the teams and increased integration between VMware vRealize Operations and the True Visibility Suite will lead to richer capabilities for customers to further optimize their packaged applications and infrastructure. Customers will be able to turn directly to VMware for their vRealize Operations and True Visibility Suite product, support and sales needs.
Our team knows the True Visibility Suite team inside and out and vice versa. They will be a perfect complement to our self-driving operations efforts. We look forward to completing the transaction and having the True Visibility Suite team join us.
