Via James Governor. Wild news. Sun Microsystems to acquire one of the top tier integration/middleware vendors, IMO giving them much more credibility in the space. Sun Microsystems to Strengthen Its Position in the Business Integration
Market With Agreement to Acquire SeeBeyond for $387 Million in Cash. Will be interesting to see how TIBCO, Vitria, etc. respond. Also interesting to think about how this will fit with the price per head, all-you-can-eat and grid pricing models that have been going on at Sun.
