New additions to Cisco Family
Posted by tggokul on March 15, 2007
News has trickled out that Cisco has acquired network storage and visualization firm Neopath Networks. There is also unconfirmed news that it has also bought Qovia an internet telphone systems developer, though it has been denied by Cisco.
I will post further on these two acquistions once I can get in confirmed from other sources. Stay tuned for further updates.
Update* : Just heard that Cisco has bought Web-ex for 3.2 billion. Cisco is officially gone shopping-crazy 🙂
