ClearFoundation, a New Zealand-based developer of core software for securing both physical and virtual networks, has acquired Daplie Inc. of Provo. Daplie is the creator of Connect, a personal home server offering security, privacy, ownership and control to consumers in place of conforming to cloud provider protocols.
ClearFoundation said the move would integrate both companies’ core competencies into one product line upon which ClearFoundation will release new physical and digital home security and personal data storage product lines.
“The team at Daplie is excited to join ClearFoundation and to continue building toward and fulfilling our original mission,” said Bryson Hill, founder and CEO of Daplie. “This is just the start of a new future that will include smart devices, energy storage systems and much more.”
“ClearFoundation sees the Daplie technology as key in helping us create solutions for the home and the consumer markets,” said Michael Proper, ClearFoundation chairman. “The two teams are a good fit as we all are firm believers in the notion that the future will be built upon a bedrock of decentralization, privacy and security while giving control over data back to end users.”
