Cisco buys Jabber

Submitted by admin on Saturday, 20 September 2008No Comment
acquisition of Jabber, Inc., a provider of presence and messaging software. It’s important to note that Cisco has acquired the company called Jabber (jabber.com), not the open standard Jabber (jabber.org) which we have written about extensively in the past. The Jabber protocol, now called XMPP, is an open standard for Instant Messaging. The Jabber company builds products on, and provides support for, the protocol. In many ways Jabber.com is similar to what Red Hat is in the Linux community. See Marshall Kirkpatrick’s description of Jabber the standard below.

Cisco plans to use Jabber.com to “enhance the existing presence and messaging functions of Cisco’s Collaboration portfolio.” Cisco already owns web conferencing product WebEx, along with other Internet products such as enterprise social networks Five Across and Tribe.net. So Jabber.com will prove a handy addition to their growing portfolio of enterprise-focused Web communication products.
