Oracle buys SOA management vendor AmberPoint - on Inforworld.
Oracle on Monday fattened up its already burgeoning
middleware stack, announcing Monday that it has purchased SOA (service oriented
architecture) management vendor AmberPoint. Terms were not disclosed.
SOA refers to a systems design approach that eschews monolithic
applications and instead designates various processes, such as running a credit
check on a customer, as interoperable "services" that allow code to
be flexibly reused.
AmberPoint's software is used to monitor the
performance of SOA-driven applications and help users solve problems. It is
"highly complementary" to Oracle's own SOA software and will
"enable increased control and performance of critical applications across
the enterprise," according to an FAQ document Oracle released Monday
(PDF).
It is not clear how the deal will affect road maps for
AmberPoint's products. A review is under way and more details will be
forthcoming, Oracle said. Investment in the products is expected to increase,
according to the FAQ.
"AmberPoint was one of a dwindling group of
still-standing independents delivering runtime governance for SOA
environments," analyst Tony Baer said on the OnStrategies Perspective
blog.
The move "patches some gaps in its Enterprise
Manager offering, not only in SOA runtime governance, but also with business
transaction management -- and potentially -- better visibility to non-Oracle
systems," he added.
The deal is expected to close in the first half of this
year.
