Device42 Acquired ArrayIQ

Device42, Inc., in discovery for hybrid IT, announced the acquisition of ArrayIQ, a Boston, MA-based software company specializing in storage discovery.

This first acquisition by the company will expand its storage discovery and visibility capabilities, allowing them to provide customers with visibility into the IT storage usage and spend.

The ArrayIQ team will join the Device42 Boston office.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

“We’re thrilled to welcome ArrayIQ to the Device42 family. Our customers are dealing with an explosion of data from big data activities across the data center and cloud. Visibility into storage and storage usage represents a significant pain-point, with storage being a huge spend area for IT while customers have little visibility into how that storage is deployed or used. The addition of ArrayIQ to Device42 extends our vision of providing end-to-end visibility into exponentially growing hybrid IT infrastructure for our customers,” said Device42 CEO and co-founder Raj Jalan.

The ArrayQ platform provides a broad storage discovery, supporting over 20 different storage vendor platforms. It virtualizes the data collection layer by normalizing the collection of data on storage infrastructure such as EMC Symmetrix VMAX, VNX, Hitachi v/USP, vSP, IBM DS6000, NetApp, Pure, other storage arrays.

When combined with the cloud storage visibility Device42 already provides for AWS, Azure, and other cloud service providers, the integrated solution will provide hybrid storage visibility. ArrayIQ provides deep visibility of storage environment and helps accurately pinpoint and predict bottlenecks in your applications arising from storage infrastructure. It maps applications bottoms-up, from physical spindles, to mount points in virtual and physical machines, providing end-to-end mapping of storage elements and how storage is replicated.
