Santa Ana-based technology products distributor Ingram Micro Inc. said Wednesday it has acquired a Spanish company for undisclosed terms.
Ingram said it bought Albora Soluciones SL, a provider of business software based in Barcelona.
Albora’s Spanish-language website now bears the Ingram Micro logo, suggesting the deal had been in the works prior to now.
The acquisition is designed to boost Ingram Micro in security software and virtualization—or software that allows various computers running different software to appear as one.
Albora Soluciones also deals in what’s known as middleware, or software that links different applications on a network.
The company provides software from Oracle Corp., CitrCitrix Systems Inc. and others and installs and customizes it for businesses.
Albora Soluciones has 35 workers and offices in Madrid and Lisbon, Portugal. It was started in 2001.
The deal follows Ingram’s buy last year of parts of Britain’s Computacenter Distribution Ltd., another provider of business software.
Ingram Micro is the largest distributor of computers, software and consumer electronics to resellers and retailers.
It’s also the largest company of any type in Orange County with yearly sales of $30 billion.
