EMC gobbles discovery software co. Kazeon
Kazeon Systems, maker of software used to scour and retrieve buried network information for law firms, has been bought by IT giant EMC to beef up its data-search capabilities, and not just in the legal space. Based in Mountain View, Calif., Kazeon had raised $10 million in venture funding from Menlo Ventures, JK&B Capital, Clearstone Venture Partners and Redpoint Ventures.
It is EMC’s second acquisition this week, preceded by the purchase of FastScale Technology, provider of software for building, implementing and tracking applications in both physical and cloud environments. The company already offers a suite of networking retrieval, or eDiscovery, programs, called SourceOne, which Kazeon’s technology will supplement.
