EMC has acquired Australian company Infra Corporation Pty Limited.
Sydney-based Infra, founded in 1991, "provides a Web-based, ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library)-verified solution that automates IT Service Management processes in enterprise organizations," that "complements EMC's automated discovery, rich analytics, native dependency mapping and model-based approach - better enabling customers to manage service delivery end-to-end," according to EMC's press release announcing the transaction.
The release adds that the acquisition advances EMC's strategy to "automate data center operations and return visibility and control to IT management."
"With the introduction of virtualization and web-based technologies, our customers are looking for a dynamic IT service environment that can keep pace with this rapid rate of change and growing complexity," said Chris Gahagan, EMC's Senior Vice President, Resource Management Software. "The combination of Infra's service management and EMC's existing infrastructure management capabilities delivers practical and innovative solutions for today's IT service delivery challenges."
Infra will report into EMC's Resource Management Software business unit.
Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
