DALLAS (AP) - Dell Inc. said Friday it agreed to buy Everdream Corp., a privately held provider of software services for remote management of personal computers.
Terms were not disclosed. Dell said the deal would not be final until all closing conditions were met.
The Round Rock-based computer maker said the acquisition would be a key part of Dell's plan to help customers simplify their information-technology needs.
Dell said Everdream's capabilities complement those of SilverBack Technologies Inc., another privately held software company, which Dell agreed to buy in July. SilverBack develops software that monitors computers, servers and networks.
Everdream is based in Fremont, Calif., and has a second facility in Charlotte, N.C.
Dell shares rose 8 cents to $26.91 Friday.
