Ipswitch Whats Up Gold has acquired Dorian Software Creations

WhatsUp Gold, the network management division of file transfer specialists Ipswitch, has acquired Dorian Software Creations.

The acquirer said the addition of Dorian’s product portfolio, which includes Windows Security Event Management (SEM) and log management software solutions, to its stable would act as a “powerful differentiator” within the marketplace for the firm.

Ennio Carboni, president of WhatsUp Gold, said Dorian’s “profitable and self-funded business model” was both instrumental in its decision to acquire the firm.
