FutureLink to Acquire Britain’s KNS Holding

FutureLink Corp., an Irvine-based provider of computer-application hosting services to businesses, agreed to acquire privately held KNS Holding Ltd., a British firm that is the largest distributor of Citrix Systems server software outside the United States. The software runs servers and other computers. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Early this month, FutureLink acquired VSI Technology Solutions, a Beltsville, Md.-based reseller of Citrix server software.

FutureLink provides companies with off-site, Internet-based computing services, saving them from having to individually install and upgrade applications on employees’ PCs.
