Cisco Systems (CSCO) today announced a deal to acquire privately held PostPath, a Mountain View, Calif.-based provider of Linux-based email and calendaring software, for $215 million. Cisco said the deal will extend the email and calendar functions of its Webex Connect collaboration platform. Cisco said that PostPath’s software is “interoperable with many other email solutions and provides a browser-independent AJAX Web client.”
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
