In addition to Facebook, it has customers in financial services and data networking.
We're also guessing that data networking and the convergence with telecommunications are evolving.
Small tactical acquisitions of such firms as Livingston, Prominet and Yurie have also plugged holes and brought in developers from data networking.
There are networking technologies that use electrical wiring for data networking, and a wall socket can deliver data as well as power with no new wiring needed.
Leviton, the Melville, NY-based manufacturer of lighting management systems, data networking solutions and electrical wiring devices, said it plans to buy Obvius, the energy-management start-up company based in Portland, Oregon.
We see the standard being expanded horizontally to address the specific needs of new markets such as energy efficiency, in-car networking, data-center networking and content delivery.

They're also used widely in cellular base stations, Internet routers and high-performance data-networking switches.
Second, it rapidly became an open standard at a time when most data-networking protocols were proprietary.
But analysts wanted Alcatel to get into data-networking technology, where Lucent, Nortel and Cisco rule the roost.
Lucent and Nortel were perhaps quicker to respond because American companies have led the way in exploiting the Internet and data-networking technologies.
On Tuesday Intel agreed to acquire Fulcrum Microsystems, a privately-held designer of processors used in data center networking gear sold by companies such as Arista.

This puts Alcatel into the booming business of making data-networking equipment.
Their task is to learn entirely new data-networking and Internet skills.
Investors seeking an actively managed fund focused on the communications and data-networking market might consider this offering from Fidelity Investments as an alternative to the PowerShares ETF.
Cisco Systems, with perhaps the most formidable data-networking credentials of all, is also determined to get a slice of the action and has recently been working with Motorola.
At a stroke, 3Com could provide the credibility and access to customers that matter in America, as well as helping to bind in Siemens's recent data-networking acquisitions, such as Argon and Redstone Communications.
They may even realise that they no longer need to make cars at all, deciding to follow the example of Cisco Systems, a data-networking firm, by becoming virtual companies whose expertise lies in design and brand marketing.
Advanced data center and networking companies like Equinix would love to be the place where multi-cloud services live.
Owning or creating easy access to social networking data enables Apple and Google to connect location with other data about you.
After virtualization changed the management of data centers, networking became a bottleneck.
Although user license agreements at social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn prevent Paterva from offering data searches involving social networking sites, the free version still has plenty of tools to give users a head start at finding interesting and "hidden" relationships.
Going forward, LSI is firmly established as a central player in some of the most critical growth trends in computing, including cloud, Big Data, mobile networking and flash, with products that are bringing exciting new levels of speed and productivity to our customers.
Bing has been slowly increasing its share of American searches and is working with Facebook on integrating social-networking data into its results in a bid to improve them. (This is another reason why Google wants its own source of social data.) People are also being offered more and more digital information via other sources, including specialised search engines and software applications on smartphones.
As my sketch below shows, an organization with a digital nervous system is characterized by a large number of inflows and outflows of data, a high level of networking, both internally and externally, increased data flow, and consequent complexity.
As the Internet expands and data centers multiply, networking hardware is only getting more power-hungry.
Buzz is also able to exploit Google's search know-how to help users identify the material of most interest to them from the flood of data pouring into its networking pages.
Even though Google is still using some data from other social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, there has been a lot of backlash from users and other social networking sites.
Focus areas listed in the jobs descriptions cover nearly every aspect of mobile development, including data synchronization, social networking, cloud services, search and maps, mobile commerce and improvements to the Windows Phone 7 applications platform.
