HP has announced that it will acquire Opsware for $1.6 billion. The company was founded by Marc Andreessen, who was also founder of Netscape, and a major force behind making the Internet what what it is today. The company, originally called Loudcloud, settled on the enterprise software arena, after several forays into other areas, including web hosting. Loudcloud had an IPO in 2001.
