Storage titan EMC has quietly acquired Texas-based iWave Software, whose Automator suite streamlines the provisioning and management of storage systems, data centers and private clouds. No price was mentioned.
It will be another Storage-as-a-Service ornament for EMC’s Advanced Storage Division.
EMC uses iWave widgetry in its VMAX Service Provider Platform. Users can provision, remove and extend block storage for Linux, VMware ESX servers and VMware clusters.
The news got out through a posting by iWave Brent Rhymes, who’s of course “thrilled” with the acquisition.
