Who’s On Phirst

I am pleased to inform our customers, partners and suppliers that Phurnace Software has been acquired by BMC Software. This is great news for everyone: Especially our customers. We will accelerate our innovation and product expansion and we now have the global reach through BMC for sales, support and services. All of the things that you liked about Phurnace, you will love about BMC. The product will continue to be offered as a standalone solution, as well as part of a larger more robust enterprise suite, as part of the BMC BladeLogic family. The product will continue to integrate into a wide range of third party systems; and that capability will not be lost – it will be enhanced. The pace of new feature additions and new platforms supported will also accelerate. BMC shares the vision that Phurnace was formed on – automation of application deployments and configurations that save time, money and eliminate costly errors.

The entire Phurnace team is staying in place and you will work with the same team that you have come to know. In fact, we will be growing. BMC has become the leader in data center automation and adding Phurnace furthers that lead. BMC is the ONLY provider of a full suite of automation tools that include the auto-deploy of Java enterprise applications. BMC recognizes that the real business value is in the application layer and the complete line of BladeLogic products are being enhanced and extended to handle the all important application layer – and unlike other vendors – BMC views the data center as a integrated and interchangeable set of physical, virtual and cloud environments.

It has been a great ride at Phurnace Software as an independent, venture capital backed company, and it will be an even more exciting ride as we move into the future with the backing, resources and market reach of BMC. Join us for the ride.
