惠普,以及Spi Dynamics

今天刚收到的消息,惠普买下了Spi Dynamics:

Hewlett-Packard buys SPI Dynamics for undisclosed price

HP on Tuesday said it would pay an undisclosed sum to buy 140-employee SPI Dynamics Inc., a provider of Web application security assessment software and services. SPI Dynamics technology, which is already integrated with HP Quality Center software, allows customers to assess and identify security vulnerabilities along the lifecycle of Web applications

SPI的产品最终会被集成到HP Quality Center 中。

所以其实是惠普买了Mercury,Mercury买了SPI。

这个决策多少受到了IBM前不久买了WatchFire的影响。

根据IDC的估计,安全产品及服务市场规模到2010年将成长至666亿美元。
