Acquisitions Ahead?

At Cisco's first partner summit this year in San Diego, the network leader reveled two acquisitions during the event: The purchase of cloud management startup CliQr for $260 million and little known Israel-based networking chip designer Leaba Semiconductor for $320 million.

Cisco has been on an acquisition tear in 2016, including acquiring software collaboration provider Worklife in October. If the first partner summit is any indicator, partners might see an acquisition or two unveiled in San Francisco.
