Egenera Acquires FORT for Cloud Management

Egenera, which provides physical, virtual and cloud management, has acquired Fort Technologies, a cloud lifecycle software provider based in Dublin, Ireland.

Fort’s cloud management capabilities will be added to Egenera's PAN Cloud Director software for enterprises.  The deal also expands Egenera’s sales footprint, partner network and customer base in EMEA. Financial terms were not disclosed.

“The acquisition allows us to help our customers move to the cloud faster and create more enterprise-class, resilient and secure clouds,” said Pete Manca, CEO of Egenera. "Fort Technologies’ distinctive approach to cloud management turns the design, deployment and management of IT services into a simple drag and drop exercise. This enables service providers and enterprises alike to grow and succeed in the cloud."
