Comments on: SpringSource Buys Hyperic – What’s the Hyperic Angle? http://www.redmonk.com/cote/2009/05/08/springsource-buys-hyperic-whats-the-hyperic-angle/ One foot in the muck, the other in utopia Thu, 24 May 2012 14:45:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: People Over Process » VMWare Buys SpringSource - Quick Analysis http://www.redmonk.com/cote/2009/05/08/springsource-buys-hyperic-whats-the-hyperic-angle/comment-page-1/#comment-336207 People Over Process » VMWare Buys SpringSource - Quick Analysis Mon, 10 Aug 2009 22:33:36 +0000 http://www.redmonk.com/cote/2009/05/08/springsource-buys-hyperic-whats-the-hyperic-angle/#comment-336207 [...] SpringSource itself purchased Hyperic sometime ago, which seemed to equally flummox folks, though it did make for an interesting “full stack” offering for enterprise software developers. Here’s what I had to say on the one-stack theory then: Looking at it from the SpringSource angle, that’s exactly the space SpringSource has been wedging itself in of late. Ever since Rod threw his glove at J2EE’s face, he and SpringSource have been trying to save Java from itself. Clearly, SpringSource has a deep devotion to Java. Sure, they have a tough-love devotion, but they ain’t no rails. From this you can see that SpringSource’s market is squarely that massive, slow beast we call Java which means, pretty much, enterprise development. As SpringSource’s Charlie Purdom put it this afternoon, there’s some question of who’s going to carry the Java flag now and “selfishly speaking, we like to think it’s going to be us.” [...] [...] SpringSource itself purchased Hyperic sometime ago, which seemed to equally flummox folks, though it did make for an interesting “full stack” offering for enterprise software developers.
