Google buys Postini

And now they are together. Google just aquired Postini.
Notably Google was already utilizing Postini technology with Gmail; the acquisition would appear to be a case of Google wanting to own a technology it was already using under license.()Interesting, I didn't know that.
Basically, the move will enable Google to flesh out its Google Apps hosted applications, which include e-mail, calendar, instant messaging, Docs & Spreadsheets and Web page creation, with the security and government regulation compliance services that businesses need.(Webware)Now this is something that came to mind when I first read the news. I think this will give Google Apps the security and 'weight' to be easier adopted by big companies. A very important step into the future.
