It has also been a key factor in the success of our integration with Covalent, a long-established open source company we acquired in January 2008. The two organizations had a similar culture, making it natural for the staff to integrate. And it helps us to continue to attract outstanding technical and business talent.

This transaction will bring together two of the most successful examples of the new commercial software reality: paying vendors for services rather than code. Covalent is a major supporter of Apache, and offers support for the web and application servers. While traditional software companies encouraged customers to deploy applications on expensive JEE application servers, Covalent helps companies such as Bear Sterns, which are building enterprise-class scale out applications comprising hundreds of open source servers, but want enterprise support from a firm where the coders who built the runtimes work. SpringSource may just have lost some of its purity, but the transaction points towards the future economics of the industry. The Register developer zone calls the combo an “open source supergroup“. Well Rod Johnson, head of SpringSource, is definitely a rockstar. You’re going to hear a lot more from him. Frankly Rod is far more deserving of the tag Top Leader in Open Source business than anyone at RedMonk, but there you go. At this point I consider it a racing certainty that SpringSource is eventually acquired. Possibly sooner rather than later- the combination of Spring and Apache has got to worry traditional app server vendors. The game is changing.
