every quarter before fiscal quarter ended, Cisco will have at least one acquisition announcements to staging and distract their bad earnings and bad performances. Why don't you make acquisition announcements right after the earnings call?
acquisition is a fallacy of nostalgia. Cisco is struggling to survive. No true engineering companies want to be acquired by Cisco.
ho ho ho let's partying, acquisition is another sewage pipe draining to Cisco the bigger Septic tank.
It's the culture, the plan, the insanity, the new way Cisco does innovation: though acquisition.
"New?" You're 30 years late to the party. Take a peak at:

Note that this was posted before the Splunk acquisition was announced.
Raytheon destroyed Lockheed Martin. Surprised Lockheed Martin is still exist.
Lockheed been mostly using juniper.
"Cisco is one of the vendors selling to government sector, every vendor knows it is low profit margin when selling to government."
Who do you think helps the government collect & analyze nationwide network data? We are the Lockheed Martin of switches & routers.
No innovation but critical to national security.

Argh! There he goes again!
Happy 2024 folks. We survived another year. Have a drink. But no messing on the carpet.
A lot of really bitter people here. You never got acquired because you never had the guts to wean off Cisco. You've now realized your miserable excuse of a career is behind you. Two decades in IT and no real skills you can actually demonstrate. You figured you won't ever get financially independent, let alone rich. Your wife regrets ever having met you. Your kids would rather pretend they're orphans than admitting they're your offspring. Your dog releases himself on the carpet because he knows you'll clean up behind him. Yeah I know. I wouldn't like walking in your shoes. But hey, merry holidays to y'all and welcome Isovalent folks! Cisco isn't the sour and sorry place people love to depict here. We've been elected the #1 place to work!!!! Yeah baby, rock on!
Sr Isovalent employees, drag your feet on the integration, as when you are done, you'll very likely to get the LR notice. Then Cisco doesn't need to pay out all your stock options. It's the culture, the plan, the insanity, the new way Cisco does innovation: though acquisition.
I not quite sure if LRs always follow an acquisition announcement but what is consistent and appears to happen more frequent than not is - a hiring freeze followed by an LR announcement. Since they seems to now be a hiring freeze, I would expect before the next earnings call in Feb '24 they'll announce LR. For a company who claims to care care about their employees, its starting to be a running joke that happens every six months.
some smartest people working for government ( they define rules and policies ), they know how to get illegal things look legal.
everybody is selling to government, cisco's government footprints have been shrinking for years, it is only going to accelerate the shrinkage.
Cisco is one of the vendors selling to government sector, every vendor knows it is low profit margin when selling to government. In government sector they will use one serial number to get support of 10,000 Cisco devices, are you making money or losing money by selling to government?
Cisco prints money by selling legacy switches & routers to governments & businesses.
This reliable revenue stream is not going away. Think incompetent Boeing selling defective planes to governments and businesses.
This is just another "waste money" move that Chuckie pulls from his playbook
