Sun will retool software from the recently-purchased Terraspring to form the N1 Control Plane, which will serve as a management portal that looks out over servers, storage components, switches and software in a network. The N1 Control Plane will eventually be included with many hardware packages, but first on Sun's new blade servers. BEA PARTNERS TO EXPAND JAVA COMPONENT MARKET | IDG News The push is on to expand the market for reusable Java components. BEA Systems, an application server vendor, has partnered with ComponentSource, an online software exchange, in order to make sales of prewritten Java components more competitive with rival technologies from Microsoft. Java components are purchased by application developers so they can save time and money when working on big projects. Officials at BEA Systems and ComponentSource hope the business pact will help to grow the market for such Java components. IBM DENIES RATIONAL BUY IS .NET LURE | ZDNet Some analysts in the U.S. claim IBM's planned purchase of Rational Software is $3 billion worth of bait to lure away .NET developers, but IBM Australia's general manager has denied that claim, saying customers should use the platforms they want.

That's the prediction from META Group, which thinks the pervasiveness of Linux will be impossible for even MS to ignore. Analysts think that the move will eventually include SQL Server, IIS and Exchange. META also thinks that Microsoft will tweak pricing on its Windows server OS to better compete against open-source.
