Thoma Bravo Closes LANDesk Buy But Silent on Novell

Thoma Bravo has completed its buy of LANDesk Software. Salt Lake City-based LANDesk provides systems lifecycle management, endpoint security and IT service management. The seller was Emerson Electric Co., which acquired LANDesk via its $1.2 billion buy of Avocent in 2009. Avocent itself bought LANDesk in 2006 for $416 million. LANDesk’s software “lets corporate IT departments manage all endpoints, like PCs or mobile devices,” says Seth Boro, a Thoma Bravo principal.
