Tavve Software has acquired a business whose products extend Hewlett-Packard's OpenView net management platform. Tavve has spent $600,000 and 125,000 shares of its stock to buy Netplex Group's Onion Peel Solutions subsidiary, which generated $280,000 in product revenue during the first six months of the year. Tavve's flagship offering is eNMS, a suite of software for operations such as root-cause analysis and performance reporting.

Magnum Technologies has introduced Web-based software that lets IT organizations and service providers monitor compliance with service-level agreements. The company's Advantage Software alerts users when any performance thresholds are exceeded. Initially, the software will require Magnum's Cap-Trend performance management tool and Magnum's Coordinator fault/ event correlation and root-cause analysis tool. Advantage Software will also report information to Hewlett-Packard OpenView and Tivoli NetView. Magnum plans to add support for Micromuse's NetCool. Advantage will be available early next year. Pricing, including consulting, will be priced starting at approximately $30,000.
