June 1, 2009 —  Business process management provider Active Endpoints has secured US$5 million in an extension of its Series B funding. North Bridge Venture Partners was the main donor of the funding. Active Endpoints executives said the funding will be used for research and development, as well as for marketing.

IBM has acquired the assets of Exeros, a data discovery software provider based in Santa Clara. Exeros is privately held, and company executives said its technology uncovers hidden relationships between databases, which helps users understand disparate data sources quicker. Over the next several months, IBM will incorporate Exeros into its Information Management Software line. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Oracle has reached an agreement to acquire Virtual Iron Software, a Lowell, Mass.-based provider of server virtualization products. Virtual Iron’s technology complements Oracle’s VM server virtualization platform, Oracle executives said, and will provide capacity and power management, as well as integration with open APIs.
