Financial terms of the deal were not publicly disclosed; a Cisco spokesperson told internetnews.com that all 14 SpansLogic employees would be moving over to Cisco.
The newly acquired assets will find a place within Cisco's core networking product line.
"Our immediate intention is to integrate SpansLogic processors into our switching portfolio," Piovesan said.
The hope is that with the SpansLogic technology in place, Cisco's switching platforms will be more efficient as Ethernet moves to 10 GbE speeds and beyond. Cisco is currently ranked by research firm Dell'o'ro as the lead vendor in the 10 GbE market (define) with a 70 percent market share.
