The portfolio company of KKA Partners, the Xantaro Group, expands its portfolio with the acquisition of NetDescribe
The Xantaro Group, Europe's leading solution provider for high-performance networks, IT security solutions and managed services, today announced the acquisition of NetDescribe GmbH, a specialist for automated and highly scalable IT solutions for performance, compliance and security in complex IT infrastructures. The two companies had already been working together as strategic partners since mid-March.
NetDescribe GmbH will now operate under the name “NetDescribe GmbH, Member of the Xantaro Group”. Xantaro announces its ongoing commitment to expanding the group of companies. The aim is to specifically expand the portfolio for carriers, service providers, data centres and industrial customers in Germany and the UK, which has now been extended to include security services for NOC, SOC and OT security.
Gerold Arheilger, CEO Xantaro Group:
"We are extremely pleased that NetDescribe is now part of the Xantaro Group. The DNA of both companies fits together perfectly and our joint projects have already got off to an extremely successful start. With the expertise and performance of NetDescribe, we now provide our customers with unparalleled expertise in monitoring, automation and security of the network infrastructure. This means that we cover OSI layers 1-7 with the best experts on the market. The acquisition is the first milestone on our way to strengthening the Xantaro Group with further leading providers. As a result, our customers will benefit from a uniquely comprehensive service and solution portfolio, offering exceptional quality from a single source.”
Elmar Prem, Managing Director of NetDescribe GmbH:
"As a specialised provider of network and security performance solutions in the areas of multicloud, hybrid and data centre monitoring, we ideally complement the Xantaro Group. Both industrial and commercial companies have ever-increasing demands on OT and IT. Compliance guidelines such as NIS-2 and DORA increase the complexity. The services and solutions from Xantaro and NetDescribe give customers visibility into their infrastructures - regardless of whether they are on-prem, hybrid or in the cloud. Our managed services relieve the burden on both the NOC and SOC teams. For companies, this means significant cost savings and less effort while simultaneously increasing OT/IT security. Our teams work closely together and have already gained the support of several customers with our combined expertise. At Xantaro Group, we remain committed to our ambitious goals and are confident in our expansion strategy."
