Acquisitions

Summary

This week, Cisco quietly opened up its purse strings once again to acquire data center security startup Rohati Systems for an undisclosed amount. Cisco recently acquired the set-top box business of one of China’s largest cable companies, DVN, for $44.5 million. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Rohati Systems was founded by five former Cisco engineers to provide data center and cloud security. Its Transaction Networking Systems (TNS) helps enable secure collaboration and policies for controlling access to data center and cloud resources without touching applications, servers, or operating systems. Cisco’s security offerings also got a boost from the company’s acquisition of ScanSafe late last year.
