Cisco Systems at its recent C-Scape analyst conference opened the kimono on a handful of new products it is developing across its different business units.
Much of that centers around video, which had the highest volume of buzz at the conference. One of the new video technologies it showed off was a digital signage system, which Cisco acquired on Dec.
15 when it bought Tivella. Cisco's aim with the Tivella acquisition, which is expected to close in Cisco's second fiscal quarter of 2007, is to offer customers live video, video-on-demand and other types of rich media content that can be delivered to desktops or digital sign displays via IP. Applications for the technology include advertising, training and other targeted communications.
Cisco did not disclose the price that it paid for Tivella, which has 10 employees. In addition to new digital signage offerings, Cisco also intends to broaden its video surveillance offerings.
