Tuesday September 21, 1:05 pm Eastern Time Cabletron and Unisys in network agreement ROCHESTER, N.H., Sept 21 (Reuters) - Cabletron Systems Inc.(NYSE:CS - news) and Unisys Corp. (NYSE:UIS - news) on Tuesday said they've reached an agreement that calls for Unisys to provide on-site service for Cabletron's entire internetworking hardware and software systems. Rochester, N.H.-based Cabletron, which makes switches and other hardware and software to transfer information between computers and networks, said the alliance would extend its own service operations -- GlobalNetwork Technology Services -- to a wider range of multi-national customers. ''As networks gain prominence as strategic business assets, network availability is increasingly critical - and downtime is intolerable,'' Earle Humphreys, executive vice president, GlobalNetwork Technology Services, said in a statement. Shares of Blue Bell, Pa.-based Unisys early Tuesday afternoon were down 1-3/8 to 47-15/16. Shares of Cabletron were down 1-7/8 to 17-1/8.
