Cisco Announces Agreement to Acquire BroadWare Technologies

BroadWare's software enables web-based monitoring, management, recording and storage of audio and video that can be accessed anywhere by authorized users.

With this acquisition, Cisco will be able to help customers easily gain access to live and recorded surveillance video for faster investigation response and event resolution.

This creates the opportunity for new innovative capabilities to be delivered, maximizing the value of live and recorded surveillance video. BroadWare Technologies will help Cisco provide this value to its customer across different environments including commercial and enterprise branch offices, campus/headquarters and large public sector applications.

'Cisco views the video surveillance infrastructure market as an immediate high growth opportunity that requires the ability to support both IP and analog device installations,' said Marthin De Beer, Senior Vice President of Cisco's Emerging Market Technologies Group (EMTG). 'Through the acquisition of BroadWare, Cisco will be able address both existing and greenfield video surveillance opportunities.'"
