Rumors Of Sun Acquiring Hyperic & OpenNMS Unsubstantiated

Earlier today, Hyperic announced its acquisition of OpenNMS. Following the announcement, Tarus Balog, former OpenNMS CEO and Poobah Emeritus, made an unauthorized and premature announcement of a subsequent acquisition of the newly joined companies by Sun.

“While we really like Tarus, and are ecstatic to have him on our team, he’s really exciteable,” stated Stacey Schneider, spokeswoman for Hyperic. “He’s also very easy to ‘bait’ into deals with everyday food items such as lite beer and processed food products. The food comas they induce are crippling to his right brain processing - and he becomes very susceptible to persuasion. Now that he has become part of our fold, we’ll do everything in our power to protect him from these harmful situations.”

Hyperic & OpenNMS - Better Together

I am very excited to have finally formalized our relationship with the Order of the Green Polo, the folks that run OpenNMS. This new partnership and product roadmap highlights the right answer to many questions mulling around our industry.

1. Systems Management Taxonomy - Systems Management is a BIG term. It has many disciplines within it. We have application management, systems management, provisioning, network management, configuration management, and the list goes on. The reality is most people think it encompasses application, system and network management. Hyperic does a great job up in the application and systems level - especially for custom-built, heterogeneous stack web-based infrastructure. We do some level of Network management, but it is small potatoes compared to OpenNMS. A public announcement and partnership (not to mention blog posts) will make more people understand quickly that we’re very different - and they need us both!
