Sun Microsystems Completes Aduva Acquisition

Sun Microsystems, Inc. has announced it has completed the acquisition of Aduva. With the completion of this transaction, Sun now owns Aduva. Aduva's multi-platform services will be available for operation by individual customers behind their own firewalls, or as an automated Sun Grid Utility service.

Sun will soon add update services to the many Sun Grid Utility Services it currently offers, including its basic Compute Utility, which is accessible over the Internet, Sun Grid Storage Utility and Sun Grid Developer Utility Services. Sun expects pricing and availability for the latest service feature of Sun Grid will be available within Sun's fiscal year 2007.

By integrating the Aduva technology, Sun will deliver active dependency patch and update services for Solaris and Linux servers with a solution that scales from individual servers, up to large scale data centers with tens of thousands of machines in complex networks. With Aduva's technology, Sun can better help enterprises automate the processes associated with patch and dependency management, easing the burden on system administrators.
