Cisco Jumps on Jahi: Page 2 of 2

And we are likely to see more of the same, according to industry observers, as Cisco continues to plug its technology gaps (see When Will Cisco Go Soft? and M&A Mojo).

Cisco execs say that Jahi’s technology will provide an enhanced interface for Cisco devices. It will also offer customers who are writing their own scripts and network management applications a common way of interacting with different Cisco devices running in the network, according to the network giant.

The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of Cisco's fiscal year 2005, when Jahi will become part of Cisco’s Network Management Technology Group.
