Cisco Systems plans to acquire Sedonasys Systems, also known as Sedona Systems, a maker of communications technologies.
The networking giant revealed its intent to buy Sedona Systems for its NetFusion platform, its Hierarchical Controller (HCO) for optimising, simplifying and automating network control.
The two companies did not disclose financial details of the transaction. However, Israeli business news site Calcalist estimated the deal to be worth US$100 million.
The NetFusion platform automatically discovers, aggregates, and analyses network data from multiple online systems and optical and IP sources, providing real-time, network-wide data that is then used by different NetFusion products. These products reduce the complexity, cost, time, and resources needed to plan, forecast, and operate the optimal network infrastructure, according to Sedona Systems.
