SAN JOSE, USA: Computer networking gear Cisco Systems Inc. announced on Wednesday that it will buy e-mail and calendaring software provider PostPath Inc. in a $215 million deal.

The new move on the part of the networking giant points to the company's bid to expand its business-applications portfolio, feel observers.

The firm will become part of Cisco's WebEx Connect platform, which provides a platform for companies to hold meetings and other activities via the Web.
