The vendor's participation will start with CERN and Cisco putting together a team to develop highly secure computing infrastructure technologies capable of dealing with massive amounts of data.
Ah. Another US company "helping" with security. Reminds me of the Swiss Crypto AG affair.
What's the matter, afraid that CERN discovers something interesting without sharing?
I think you've been confused by the inclusion of buzzwords like "highly secure". Who would dare put out a press release that *didn't* say "highly secure"? CERN has been buying Cisco kit since, oh, 1987 or '88. It's only fair that Cisco should give a bit back.
What I find truly amazing is the *absence* of the buzzwords "software defined networking."
