Raxco Software Inc. was a Gaithersburg, Maryland software company. Founded in 1978,[1] the company's products have been sold internationally.[2]
The company spun off one division as Axent Technologies; the latter was "acquired by venture capital firms in 1988."[3] Meanwhile Raxco continued with its own product offerings. PerfectDisk became
its flagship software package.[4][5]
Raxco transitioned from its 1980s[6]
and 1990s VAX[7] (VMS)[8][9] and OpenVMS[10][11] software product line, and did a Management buyout[12] to become a private,[1] independent company.
