CollabNet announced it has joined Opsware's Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program. Through the partnership, CollabNet and Opsware will provide access to a broad range of Data Center Automation capabilities, enabling customers to more rapidly achieve operational efficiencies and reduce labor costs across their IT infrastructures.

"Opsware's history of leadership in the data center automation market coupled with CollabNet's ability to enable collaboration across geographical boundaries makes this partnership a natural fit," said Martin Doettling, vice president of marketing at CollabNet. "CollabNet will enable Opsware developers and customers to interact and collaborate on projects anywhere at any time, by supporting the collaborative extension of The Opsware Network (TON)."

With the cost and complexity of today's IT infrastructure spiraling out of control, enterprises are turning to IT Automation to increase productivity, ensure policy compliance, remediate security threats, and reduce labor expenses. The Opsware Technology Alliance Partner program supports the increasing demand for this technology by providing an effective way to address customer needs for server, network and application automation. As the fastest growing data center automation vendor, Opsware will provide CollabNet the opportunity to integrate with its IT Automation software and leverage its global sales and marketing activities to generate customer leads and drive revenue.
