BMC Software today announced that it has completed the acquisition of ProactiveNet, Inc. the most advanced �early warning system� for IT on the market. Both current and new customers can immediately reap the benefits of ProactiveNet�s real-time and proactive analytics. The combination of BMC�s BSM for IT Operations and ProactiveNet�s unique capabilities represents the most advanced solution available for customers looking to align IT services to business priorities. With its intelligent threshold technology, the ProactiveNet solution continues to get �smarter� by adapting to changing performance demands. Analyzing performance on the fly, ProactiveNet provides early warning of potential or pending problems and eliminates false-positive alerts. Unlike other event management and performance solutions on the market, ProactiveNet offers rapid out-of the-box deployment and requires no thresholds or scripts to be configured, fitting right into the BMC�s strategy for bringing Business Service Management (BSM) to IT operations. �In today�s competitive business environment, downtime is not an option,� said Jim Grant, senior vice president and general manager of BMC�s Enterprise Service Management business unit. �IT departments must be able to efficiently detect and isolate potential problems before they impact service and create issues for the whole organization. BMC�s acquisition of ProactiveNet and its advanced �early warning� capabilities leads the market in addressing this critical need.� About BMC Software BMC Software is a leading global provider of enterprise management solutions that empower companies to automate their IT and align it to the needs of the business.
