So this happened today : https://newsroom.ibm.com/2021-04-29-IBM-to-Acquire-Turbonomic-Building-Industrys-Most-Comprehensive-AIOps-Capabilities-for-Hybrid-Cloud
Cisco's whole cloud story for on-prem was built on Turbonomic + Inter-Sh--e. A lot of senior architects opposed that to build solely on a 3rd party without acquiring it. A DSE who is a Cisco fellow now - kept himself politically aligned and kept on pursuing it... They went so deep to beat VMware with this CWOM (aka Turbonomics) approach that they thought they are unique.. This is what happens when a bunch of jokers including a SVP (she pushed for it) who do not understand the market and the transitions try to play with a company's money....
The worst part - they will keep their jobs and keeps getting promotion - Cisco continue to lose and Innovation is going down the drain and all Cisco's money is flushed in the toliet in front of Chuck's eyes.
