Splunk will pay a key role in Cisco's AI plans, claims former CEO
Briefly

Where we've been focused is continuing on the existing roadmaps that we have in terms of innovation delivery to customers, and the way Cisco had built their integration plan was to have funding available so that we could do integration on top of our existing roadmap,...
We wanted to maintain our pace of innovation while delivering really important integration capabilities. I've been describing this as the strong ground game... and really thought about how to ensure there's this continuous delivery of critical things that customers care about.
Steele said that being part of Cisco gives Splunk advantages from a product and technology perspective, plus the ability to grow into new markets. 'With Cisco's reach in terms of markets we've just never been in, we have tremendous opportunity,' he said.
For its part, Splunk brings to Cisco $4.2 billion of annual recurring revenue and a set of customers primarily focused on the global 2,000. 'We are deeply embedded in those organizations and then we bring this broad platform and engine to process lots of data which, in this world of AI, there's probably nothing more important than that,' he added.
