"Cisco says it will pay $105M for data center software firm Tidal Software. San Jose-based Tidal sells management software that automates business processes - routine tasks that often span multiple servers and operate independently. Traditionally, IT managers have had to manually schedule jobs that these servers undertake, which costs time and money."
