Aperture Acquires Advantage Group

STAMFORD, Conn. -- Aperture Technologies Inc., the leading global provider of software for managing the physical infrastructure of data centers, has acquired The Advantage Group (TAG), a leading provider of infrastructure monitoring solutions, for an undisclosed sum.

The combination of the two companies technologies provides the most advanced and holistic data center management solution, combining comprehensive planning, operational management, and intelligent alarm processing and analysis from real-time monitoring.

The integration of Aperture VISTA, a software solution that manages the physical infrastructure of the data center, with The Advantage Group’s Enterprise product enables proactive capacity management of critical infrastructure resources. While VISTA helps plan and manage changes to the data center infrastructure, TAG Enterprise monitors the actual environment through automated processes, and allows for vendor-independent real-time monitoring of key infrastructure components with intelligent alarm processing and event logging.

TAG Enterprise’s real-time monitoring capabilities enable data center managers to better understand what is happening in the data center’s physical environment. TAG Enterprise enables data center management to respond to variations in the critical operating characteristics of data center equipment that can lead to power outages, cooling insufficiencies (hotspots), and other potentially damaging situations.
