Xypro Technology Acquires Database Software Firm

Xypro Technology Corp., a Simi Valley provider of security software for computer servers, on Tuesday announced it had completed the acquisition of Merlon Software Corp. The purchase will allow Xypro to integrate its products with Merlon’s database management software tools, which are used by financial services, telecommunications and retail companies that rely on Hewlett-Packard Enterprise servers. Xypro has served as a distribution channel for Merlon’s products for more than eight years, said Senior Director of Business Development Kenneth Scudder, who was appointed Merlon’s president following the acquisition. “This new, integrated company is a natural evolution of (our) relationship,” Scudder said in a statement. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
