“The actual media platform technology behind EOS is
being developed with people and technology Cisco acquired in 2007.
Cisco acquired privately held social-networking play Five Across in
February 2007. Later that year, Cisco bought the technology assets
of privately held Utah Street Networks, the operator of the social
networking site Tribe.net.“”Those companies and certainly their people formed the basis of
what we’re doing, particularly the Tribe assets, which have proven
to be very valuable to us,” Scheinman said.“The EOS platform itself is a Linux-based LAMP stack (Linux,
Apache, MySQL, PHP) with a Java middleware component.“While Cisco maintains extensive datacenter facilities — where
it hosts its WebEx Web conferencing service — EOS is currently
hosted by Cisco partner Savvis.”
