Software giant Computer Associates Inc. (CA) strengthened its cloud computing clout Monday when it announced the buyout of NetQoS for $200 million in cash.
NetQoS makes network performance management and service delivery software. CA said it will use that expertise to boost its own reach in network flow monitoring, unified communications management and response time analytics.
When the deal closes – that should happen by the end of this year – NetQoS CEO Joel Trammell will join CA as senior vice president and general manager. Cathy Fulton, CTO and executive products vice president for NetQoS, also will move over to CA.
Most of the 250 people employed NetQoS should keep their jobs, CA said.
