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.

He added: “We believe our mutual customers will greatly benefit from a single vendor supporting the gamut of network management tasks, including device utilisation and bandwidth monitoring, systems and application management, traffic analysis, VoIP and now security and compliance solutions via in-depth log management.”

Andy Milford, president and chief executive at Dorian Software Creations, said: “We are pleased to join forces with a market leader like WhatsUp Gold to deliver higher value to our mutual customers across commercial and government sectors.”
