LICENSE TO KILL

Mainstream companies are starting to reap benefits from
harnessing unused computing power. By lashing together sometimes
hundreds of servers to create a powerful grid, businesses are
using their technology better. But software licensing,
organizational and cultural issues, and data management can be
barriers to grid adoption. Find out how to overcome these
barriers - click here:

Network World's Cisco News Alert

Cisco buys Netsift
By Peter Sayer, IDG News Service, 06/27/05

Cisco Monday said it has agreed to pay $30 million for a
year-old start-up, Netsift, which develops deep packet
processing technology. Netsift's system can be used for
detecting network attacks as they happen.

Netsift, a privately held company in San Diego, was founded last
June and employs 15 people.

The deal, worth $30 million in cash and stock options, remains
subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions, but
should be complete by the end of July, Cisco said.
