SAP last week acquired Callixa, a San Francisco developer of enterprise information integration software. The deal closed about three months ago. SAP had not discussed it publicly before.

The technology enables customers to write a query that can be distributed among different databases and other data stores, gathering information and sending it back to the application in a single, unified response. SAP currently licenses a distributed query technology from MetaMatrix, but wanted to embed the technology.
