Why did Parallels acquire Positive Software?
Parallels believes that customers will benefit from this acquisition. Parallels customers will benefit from new development expertise in the hosting and datacenter automation areas, while PSOFT customers will benefit from having access to a wider array of solutions which are made possible through a rapidly growing company such as Parallels. Parallels will integrate Positive Software solutions with other Parallels products through its OPEN FUSION initiative. This will provide service providers who utilize the Parallels technology platform with a wider range of solutions for automating the operational aspects of service delivery. Further, integration with the APS standard will provide ISVs utilizing this standard with an even larger base of end users which can utilize their software solutions.
