TIBCO has announced its acquisition of DataSynapse - a grid/cloud infrastructure company. Although clearly this acquisition is more pertinent to the TIBCO SOA and Cloud stack (ActiveMatrix and Silver), it nonetheless is yet-another-source-of-events to be monitored by something like TIBCO Service Performance Manager (an operations application built on TIBCO BusinessEvents). There is an increasing market for such IT operational intelligence applications - indeed a quick search found this one plugging Esper into DataSynapse, for example.

No doubt there will be more news on DataSynapse later
