Delete or redirect to BMC Software: I am guessing that the former Tideway product line became what is now BMC Helix Discovery. I do not see evidence that the former company attained notability, so deletion would seem the correct outcome. However the takeover is one of those mentioned in a table in the BMC Software article and the successor products are described in the text there, so a redirect may be appropriate (but any text merge would require strong sourcing).
