Last week, Cisco announced that it will buy Skyport Systems, a security vendor focusing on applications running in hybrid environments.
The acquisition is a sign that the company is not only beefing up security, but adding more support for software-based and cloud networking as part of a focus on hyper-converged infrastructure.
Skyport is best known for SkySecure, a physical server with specialized hardware to enforce firewall rules between the virtual machines hosted on it.
