Idera Software

Idera, Inc. is a software company that provides systems and application management software for Microsoft Windows and Linux servers. It is headquartered in Houston, Texas and has offices in Australia, Austria, and the United Kingdom. Idera focused on managing and monitoring servers and applications for smaller and mid-size companies. It is owned by the private equity firms HGGC and TA Associates.

Idera was founded by Rick Pleczko as “BBS Technologies” in 2000. The company produced a line of server backup software products under the name Idera, competing for business with Imceda and later Red Gate Software.

BBS acquired web hosting backup provider R1Soft in late November 2007. It existed as a separate division until 2012, when its continuous data protection product was rolled into the Idera product line as Idera Server Backup 5.0. This restructuring was accompanied by a new “pay-as-you-go” pricing model.

The company formally changed its name to Idera, Inc. in January 2012. In July 2013 Idera acquired Precise Software, a company which develops products for information technology. The Precise product line was continued, with the website and brand remaining separate from Idera’s core offerings.

Idera also acquired CopperEgg, a software as a service application that specializes in server monitoring that same month. Idera sold its SharePoint business to Metalogix in October 2013.

Idera was acquired by TA Associates in September, 2014.

In 2015, Idera bought Embarcadero Technologies, a creator of tools for software development and database management.

In 2017, May 31, HGGC bought a controlling stake. Later that year, Idera acquired Sencha, Inc, developers of a pure JavaScript application development framework for desktop and mobile browsers, AquaFold, a database tools company, and Ranorex, a test-automation software company.
