Dell Moogsoft AIOps buy could start filling gaps post-VMware | TechTarget
Summary
"It seems that it is a good purchase by Dell to start to plug the hole left when they parted ways with VMware," said Rob Strechay, lead analyst for theCube, an enterprise tech media company. "This is how cloud computing gets managed," said Andi Mann, Global CTO and founder of Sageable, a tech advisory and consulting firm in Boulder, Colo. "Are they going to be an enterprise software company to be reckoned with again? Industry sources said the company had been seeking a buyer as its cash ran low some five years after its last funding round, and "it would seem that it was a bit of a fire sale from the Moogsoft side of things," Strechay said. Still, a company with a more established footing in IT service management software such as ServiceNow, IBM or Splunk would probably have an easier time plugging Moogsofts IP into its existing tools, said Andy Thurai, an analyst at Constellation Research. Moogsoft also faced an innovator’s dilemma in recent years as newer competitors integrated more smoothly with cloud-native technologies and offered easier implementations, Thurai said.
