History

Spectrum comes from the company Aprisma, a spin-off of Cabletron Systems, which was acquired in 2005 by Concord itself. Concord itself shortly afterwards acquired by CA. Spectrum was conceptually in 1989 - but had little success in the first years, as other products on the market were less powerful, but also more clearly though. Success came with the independence of Aprisma Cabletron Systems (now Enterasys Networks ) and thus with the independence of a hardware manufacturer. The first customer in Europe in 1990, the University of Bern and shortly afterwards the European Center for Nuclear Research.
