description: 'Concord Data Systems was a telecommunications equipment manufacturer founded in 1979 by Ken Miller (previously
  Director of Modem Development at Codex) and based in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The company designed and sold high-speed
  full-duplex dial-up telephone modems for transmitting digital computer data in analog form over the public switched telephone
  network. As the modem hardware market commoditized, the business pivoted from industrial data communications to the emerging
  market for network performance management software and was renamed Concord Communications, best known for its eHealth network
  management suite. Battery Ventures was one of thirteen investors in that company. Concord Communications was acquired by
  CA (Computer Associates) on 2005-06-07 for approximately $350 million ($330M cash plus roughly $20M of assumed net debt);
  CA was itself acquired by Broadcom in 2018. Concord Data Systems is therefore a historical, defunct entity: it operates
  no website, no developer portal, and no API surface today. It is retained in the API Evangelist network as a venture-portfolio
  lineage record only.'
