Information infrastructure technology giant EMC Corp. has purchased a San Francisco-based company that provides software development services and tools, the company announced.
Hopkinton-based EMC, the second-largest private employer in Central Massachusetts, said it will invest to expand Pivotal Labs’ reach on a global scale.
Pivotal’s project management tool, called Pivotal Tracker, is used by more than 240,000 developers, EMC said in a statement.
The acquisition adds to EMC’s portfolio of software development tools for customers building “Big Data” applications, which store and analyze data sets too large for traditional IT infrastructures, the company said.
