Opsera Limited, a leading provider of Open Source software and services, today announced the acquisition of Altinity Limited, developer of the award winning Opsview data centre monitoring software. This acquisition allows Opsera to broaden our product portfolio, acquire over 25 active clients and adds the experienced Altinity team to Opsera's staff. It provides new cross-selling opportunities into the joint customer base and cost savings through reduced administration overheads.
Opsview is Open Source, enterprise-grade data centre monitoring software developed by Altinity Limited over the last five years and based on the popular Nagios project - an Open Source monitoring framework already used in thousands of enterprises worldwide.
All businesses face the challenge of delivering more effective IT with smaller budgets. Opsview delivers significant cost saving over proprietary network monitoring software while delivering the same business benefits. Opsview provides a centralised monitoring capability for a very wide range of IT assets and infrastructure. Centralised monitoring shifts focus from fire-fighting to forward planning and IT issues can be identified and dealt with before they impact on business operations. Longer term monitoring of trends and service levels facilitates more accurate capacity planning and budgeting, saving time and money.
Opsview customers include Allianz, Betfair, Electronic Arts, Brittany Ferries, Harvard-MIT Data Center, Irish Revenue, Plusnet, Winterflood Securities, and The University of Surrey. Opsview is made available under the GNU General Public Licence.
Michael Walton, CEO of Opsera,

We were also attracted by the quality of the Opsview product and the experienced team that have been responsible for its success. I am delighted with this deal, as I know that with our combined resources we will be able to better serve a greater number of customers with our open source software, support, consulting and training services."
