Cisco invests in OpTier

OpTier Monday said Cisco had invested an undisclosed amount to help the company continue to deliver business transaction management software.

OpTier, which in June received US$15 million in a third round of funding, says Cisco strategic funds will help accelerate its ability to offer services for managing networks and data centers. OpTier’s flagship CoreFirst software relies on automation to quickly detect application and business service performance problems in heterogeneous environments.

Industry watchers say technology that can pinpoint the source of problems across sophisticated networks and applications will become more critical to IT buyers going forward.

“The convergence of network management and application management has become a central market imperative. Application transactions visibility is a key element of this convergence, conveying the context of business activities as they traverse servers and networks,” said Will Cappelli, research vice-president at Gartner.
