Cisco Systems Finalises Splunk Acquisition

With the completion of the Splunk purchase, Cisco today stated that it has laid the groundwork for providing unmatched visibility and analytics throughout a company's whole digital footprint.

Organisations need to safeguard all they do and link in order to prosper in the new digital world. The people, locations, apps, data, and gadgets that drive their company must all be connected, and their whole digital footprint must be safeguarded from cybersecurity attacks, outages, and other serious business hazards.

In order to provide a real-time, unified picture of the complete digital environment, Cisco will combine the full power of the network with industry-leading security and observability solutions. This will enable teams to proactively protect key infrastructure, avert outages, and improve the network experience.

AI is being adopted and having an impact faster than any other technology that has been introduced.

To fully benefit from AI and assist businesses in achieving previously unattainable goals, it is imperative that the appropriate data be used efficiently and on a large scale. Organisations require the infrastructure to support AI, the data to generate it, a security platform to safeguard it, and an observability platform to monitor and control it in real-time in order to fully benefit from AI. Together, Cisco will be able to complete all four.

"The combination of Cisco and Splunk is revolutionary as it enables customers to achieve feats that were previously unattainable," stated Stephen Elliot, IDC Group Vice President of I&O, Cloud Operations, and DevOps. "With the closure, Cisco has developed a special range of products for industry leaders in networking, security, and operations. Customers have to take into account the increased levels of business value that may now be realised when they combine it with their channel and AI investments."

Along with their wealth of expertise expanding security, observability, and data platform capabilities with pre-packaged apps and solutions for clients, Cisco and Splunk also bring together international developers and partner communities. By implementing cutting-edge new apps and AI-powered solutions, as well as providing high-value services, our network of partners as a whole may generate new, lucrative revenue streams.

Customers may anticipate several new product developments throughout the portfolio with the integration of Splunk over the next several months.
