Cisco, Trend Micro extend relationship

Cisco recently reaffirmed its relationship with Trend Micro by announcing the signing of an agreement to extend Trend Micro security services incorporated into Cisco's network infrastructure products, according to CNN Money.

The agreement advances the two companies' relationship, which started in 2004 when they began plans to incorporate Trend Micro's content security services into Cisco's Adaptive Security Appliance family.

In addition, as part of the two companies' ongoing collaboration, Trend Micro has delivered Trend Micro's Damage Cleanup Services for Cisco's Mitigation, Analysis and Response System to further the vision of Cisco's Self-Defending Network. This services and enhances collaborative protection and incident response across enterprise networks.

Lantronix recently announced a new family of dedicated networking coprocessor system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, reports CNN Money.

The DeviceLinx XChip SoC family enables original equipment manufacturers to embed serial-to-Ethernet connectivity and Web services into a whole new class of high-volume, price-sensitive products so they can be remotely managed over the Internet.

With the addition of the XChip family, Lantronix offers manufacturers a complete line of software-compatible device networking solutions across a product's life cycle, from external boxes, to boards, to modules, to chips.

Aruba Networks, a mobility solutions provider, and Alcatel-Lucent, recently announced their intent to establish a joint venture focused on developing next-generation wired and wireless solutions for the enterprise, says MobileWhack.

Together, the two companies will drive a new phase of business-critical enterprise infrastructure for a new generation of business users.

The solution will be designed to identify, authenticate, and manage users regardless of the means by which they access the network, something no other enterprise system provides today.
