Initial funding was provided by Gemini Israel Funds, KUR ventures, and Intel Investment. On March 22, 2004 Cisco Systems paid $44 million to acquire full control of the company ($5 million of which were Cisco's own round B invested money). Following the acquisition by Cisco the company's development center was relocated and merged with the existing Cisco Israel Development Center in Netanya[1]
