PC maker Dell announced it has signed an agreement to acquire privately-held Everdream, a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for remote-service management based in Fremont, California.

The planned acquisition is a key component in Dell’s strategy of enabling customers to simplify IT. Everdream’s capabilities complement those provided by the recently acquired SilverBack Technologies, further enabling end-to-end remote management of customers’ IT environments.

Steve Schuckenbrock, Dell senior vice president said that the planned Everdream acquisition is a significant step in Dell’s next-generation service offerings and provides Dell an expanded presence in the rapidly growing SaaS-enabled managed services market.

With this acquisition, Dell can now extend remote management of critical IT assets from servers, storage, printers, etc. to desktops, notebooks and other end-user devices globally.

Everdream products, Dell said, will continue to be developed for and offered through channel partners, and will also serve as the foundation for future Dell service offerings.
