Application and Asset discovery landscape
With the recent acquisition of nLayers by EMC, it is the right time to look back at the landscape after this wave of consolidation :
- EMC acquired nLayers, and their Insight product
- Symantec acquired Relicore and their Clarity product
- Eracent has its EnterpriseAM product
- BMC has BMC Foundation Discovery with technology coming from Network Associates' Magic, and Marimba
- Tideway with its Foundation product
- IBM acquired Collation and its Confignia product
- Mercury acquired Appilog
- Cendura has Cohesion
- CA with its Sonar product
- HP with its acquisition of Peregrine
There are still some independent companies, and options for consolidation.
