Subject: [rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ acquired by SpringSource<BR>
<BR>
Rabbit Technologies Ltd. (RTL), the company behind RabbitMQ, has been<BR>
acquired by SpringSource, a division of VMware, Inc.<BR>
<BR>
RTL was founded in February 2007 and is a spin out from LShift Ltd., the<BR>
UK software consultancy, and Cohesive FT, the US virtualization and<BR>
cloud computing company.<BR>
<BR>
The Rabbit Team are very excited about the deal. “RabbitMQ is an<BR>
extremely successful technology and forms the backbone for many varied<BR>
cloud messaging systems,” said Alexis Richardson, chief executive<BR>
officer and co-founder, Rabbit Technologies, Ltd. “By providing a<BR>
multi-protocol, completely open, portable messaging system, our<BR>
technology can be a key enabler of tomorrow’s applications. By joining<BR>
with enterprise leaders, SpringSource and VMware, RabbitMQ expects to<BR>
continue to be at the forefront of the movement toward cloud computing.<BR>
Users and customers will benefit from an organization offering deep and<BR>
immediate experience with the challenges of managing highly available<BR>
and stable operations.”<BR>
<BR>
RabbitMQ will continue to be open source and distributed in the same way<BR>
as before. The RabbitMQ community can expect to see increased investment<BR>
in this outstanding technology which should result in significant<BR>
improvements to the open source release.<BR>
<BR>
RabbitMQ customers will see an increase in availability of training,<BR>
professional services and support offerings as the RabbitMQ business is<BR>
integrated with SpringSource.<BR>
