IONA Technologies was an Irish software company. It was founded in 1991.
The company began life as a campus company in Trinity College, Dublin and maintained headquarters in Dublin, Boston and Tokyo.
The company specialized in distributed service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure. IONA products connect systems and applications by creating a network of services without requiring a centralized server or creating an IT stack.
On June 25, 2008 it was announced that IONA would be acquired by Progress Software for about $162 million, which occurred shortly thereafter.
The open-source group was later spun out into its own entity FuseSource Corp.. This group consisted of individuals and technologies involved in the various open-source projects and communities, including those that joined as part of the acquisition of LogicBlaze.

Famous quotes containing the word iona:
“Praise to Christ who feeds the hungry, frees the captive, finds the lost,
Heals the sick, upsets religion, fearless both of fate and cost.
Celebrate Christ’s constant presence—Friend and Stranger, Guest and Host.”
—The Iona Community (founded 1938)
