Cisco Announces Intent to Acquire Tidal Software, Inc. — Cisco Systems: “”

Tidal Software appears to make Data Center con­sol­id­a­tion tools and work­load schedul­ing soft­ware. What does Cisco get from buy­ing this company ?

Guesses

This soft­ware looks “Could Computing” to me and prob­ably allows for the devel­op­ment of man­age­ment soft­ware of large volumes of work­loads spread across of vir­tu­al­ised envir­on­ment and extends the the exist­ing Data Centre strategy by auto­mat­ing Unified Computing.

The auto­ma­tion will prob­ably look to head off HP’s advant­age with Virtual Center Enterprise Manager.

Interestingly, the product will be part of the Advanced Services divi­sion and not part of the Data Centre team. Does this mean it’s a pro­fes­sional ser­vices play ?

Wrongness

Where does this leave vFrame ? This product hasn’t been show­ing up any­where. Cisco chose BMC for the UCS man­age­ment soft­ware. I would have thought that extend­ing vFrame made more sense. Especially for Cloudy Computing.

More Questions than answers

So I am not sure of the value of this announce­ment. I guess more to come.….…
