The company was acquired by Quest Software in March 2004 for about $115 million.[1] Aelita Software products and technology have been incorporated into Quest's Windows Management products. Much of the management from Aelita transitioned to Veeam, which launched in 2006.[citation needed] In 2012, Quest Software was acquired by Dell, for $2.36 billion to form the Dell Software.[2] In June 2016, Dell announced the sale of their software division, including the Quest business, to Francisco Partners and Elliott Management Corporation.[3]
On November 1, 2016, the sale of Dell Software to Francisco Partners and Elliott Management was completed and the company was re-launched as Quest Software.[4]
