Cisco has a Midas touch. Every company they acquired got messed up.
Think in terms of them buying WebEx and Zoom's eating their lunch.
hey, I heard GOOG and NVDA might bid too
My source: my dog lol, wtf is this post
I work for Cisco, for the past 4 yrs to be precise. Don't let Cisco acquire you folks. After 18 months, you will be LR'ed (layoff) by Cisco. Your career/knowledge/reputation will be ruined by joining Cisco. It is a shyty place to work. Lots of backstabbing, politics and mumbo jumbo.
John chambers da man ;)
What is the source.. doesn't make sense
Only speculation from Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-23/dell-becomes-billionaire-kingmaker-in-broadcom-vmware-deal
"There may also be the chance of rival offers for VMware tempting Dell to hold out. “We believe VMware could attract interest from other suitors pursuing software such as Cisco,” said Jin Ho."
Source pls?
Elon Musk buying vmware would be worse than everyone getting gangrene.
Is this legit?
well that would bode better for employees...
Yayy. And please god, Google too. Where is Elon Musk?? We don't have bot VMs, please take us
