Company history
Halcyon was founded in 1994 by software engineers at Systemware Innovation Corporation (SWI). In 1996, the company entered into an agreement with Sun Microsystems, now a subsidiary of Oracle, to co-develop Sun Enterprise SyMON 2.0, which was based on Halcyon's PrimeAlert technology. The product was later renamed to Sun Management Center and was Sun's framework for monitoring and managing its hardware and the Solaris operating system including Solaris Zones (now part of Solaris Containers), and Logical Domains (LDoms - now known as Oracle VM Server for SPARC).
Halcyon subsequently announced the product Neuron, which includes common ITIL related components such as asset management, change management, configuration management, compliance, capacity planning, and virtualization management.
