BMC Software, a KKR & Co.-owned technology provider for businesses, is breaking up into two standalone companies.

One of them will keep the name BMC and house a unit for big mainframe computers used by businesses, as well as software automation, according to a statement on Wednesday that confirmed an earlier Bloomberg News report.
