Google to acquire Postini

Dynamoo writes: "Google has announced that it is to acquire Postini — a company best known for its corporate spam filtering and security service, but also active in Instant Messaging and compliance areas.

The deal is to purchase Postini for $625m in cash. The acquisition is slated to enhance Google's application portfolio, and Google will also acquire several very large Blue Chip customers that have previously eluded it. More details can be found here."
