October 28 News, according to foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> media reports, Cisco said in Tuesday, It plans to buy a private web-based security software company, ScanSafe, with about 183 million dollars. The full cash deal is expected to be completed in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 2010. The deal also includes incentives to retain employees.

The ScanSafe is a cloud-based software service that allows users to purchase licenses for this application as needed. Cloud-based Services help users save money because they don't have to buy software licenses and manage the software applications themselves.

Cisco says ScanSafe's technology will help Cisco expand its ability to increase its acquisition of IronPort in 2007. Cisco also plans to integrate ScanSafe services into its own AnyConnect virtual private network client product to provide a secure mobile solution. Cisco will use ScanSafe's data center to provide new cloud computing security services.

After a period of calm, Cisco has stepped up its takeover. This is Cisco's third takeover deal this month. Two weeks ago, Cisco announced a $2.9 billion purchase of wireless equipment maker Starent NX. Earlier this month, Cisco announced a 3 billion dollar takeover of Norwegian video conferencing equipment maker Tandberg. Cisco chief Executive Chambers has said Cisco is looking for more acquisitions. (This source: Sadie Net Author: tianhong)
