Tech giant acquires applications management service BlueStripe

Reports say that Microsoft today announced that it has acquired BlueStripe, an application management service that helps enterprises monitor and troubleshoot applications that have been deployed across different operating systems, data centers and cloud environments.

According to sources, Microsoft says it will integrate the service into tools like System Center and the company’s Operations Management Suite (OMS).

As Microsoft notes in a report, many of BlueStripe’s customers already use BlueStripe’s products to extend Microsoft’s own OMS to gain better insight into their infrastructure’s performance.

Microsoft will stop selling BlueStripe soon, as it starts incorporating the service into its own products, but the company tells that it will still support BlueStripe’s existing customers until then, according to another source.
