Don't be surprised to see more mature companies get picked up. Wall Street analysts are speculating that CA may be sold whole or its storage, security, and systems management pieces auctioned off separately. Others such as FalconStor and BakBone would be nice targets for larger vendors looking for one-stop shopping on the data protection aisle.

The only thing for sure is that by the end of the year, a lot of products and technologies will be owned by different vendors than own them now.
