Veritas Nabs Ejasent: Page 3 of 3

Veritas expects the Ejasent buy to be accretive this year -- in contrast with the disappointing lag experienced with Precise (see Veritas Has Double Vision). According to Maness, Veritas will start selling the vendor's main products, UpScale and MicroMeasure, during the second quarter of 2004.

Veritas also plans to integrate Ejasent's wares into its own products, in contrast with plans to keep selling Precise and Jareva's software standalone. By 2005, UpScale, which enables IT personnel to move applications from one server to another without disrupting their delivery to end users, will be integrated into Veritas's Cluster Server product, which performs application recovery. By the same time, MicroMeasure, which tracks usage-based billing of IT assets, will be integrated into CommandCentral Service, which includes a series of products for utility computing.
