April 24, 2007Buy Fever: Red Hat Acquires MetaMatrix
Today, Red Hat announced its acquisition of MetaMatrix. Financial details were not disclosed.
In a conference call with analysts and press, Tim Yeaton, Red Hat's senior VP of enterprise solutions, said the company plans to make MetaMatrix's tools fully open sourced and available under an open source license.
Red Hat, an open source solutions provider, acquired JBoss last June, and has been working hard to bring an enterprise class product to the market. But I guess they need a bit more of solid service-oriented data integration technology to provide stability, and therefore announced today this big news along with a larger new enterprise middleware strategy.
Check out the raw news here.
Today, Dennis Byron is blogging on this topic.
Also, Vitria and Red Hat are partnering on SOA platform distribution.
More news as it happens.
