Cisco Systems Inc., the largest maker of gear for directing traffic over the Internet, on Thursday said it would acquire privately held Topspin Communications, a maker of server networking equipment, for $250 million in cash and options.
Topspin, based in Mountain View, California, is the leading provider of server fabric switches. Cisco said in a statement that the acquisition will strengthen its ability to provide customers with specialized networking technology and services so they can build data centers in a flexible, grid-like fashion.
