BMC picks up Phurnace Software

BMC Software said Thursday that it is acquiring privately held
Phurnace Software, which makes automation software to deploy Java
applications in the enterprise.

BMC, which is a company worth monitoring in 2010, plans to take
Phurnace's technology and embed it into its BMC BladeLogic automation
portfolio. BMC's software is widely used to automate processes and
application deployment in data centers.

Phurnace's technology will make it easy to model and deploy Java
Enterprise Edition applications from the likes of Oracle's BEA, Red
Hat's JBoss, and IBM's Websphere.
