History
Spectrum was originally developed at Cabletron Systems, Inc, in 1991. In 1999 the Spectrum business unit became a separate company, Aprisma Management Technologies. The main goal of this division was to erase industry perceptions that the technology was tied to Cabletron's hardware.[citation needed] Up until this division other companies, such as Cisco, saw Cabletron as a competitor and were reluctant to work together with it.[1] Cabletron was later divided into Enterasys and Riverstone, and Aprisma was sold by Enterasys to Gores Technology Group following an United States Securities and Exchange Commission investigation.[citation needed]
In January 2005, Concord Communications, Inc, announced its intent to acquire Aprisma from Gores.[2]
CA, Inc. acquired Concord Communications, Inc, including its Aprisma Management Technologies subsidiary, on June 7, 2005.[3]
