Under the terms of the agreement, Cisco said it will exchange its common stock worth $25 million for all outstanding shares, warrants, and options of Tasmania. The networking giant said the acquisition will result in a one-time charge after taxes in its second quarter of fiscal year 2000.

The acquisition has been approved by the boards of each company and is subject to approval by Tasmania shareholders, the companies said. My Comments: This is next next gen stuff. CSCO is inching in towards the server. I still expect CSCO to kove into Server Area Networks (SAN)
