Will Cisco's acquisition of Lancope kill off its network visibility partnerships?

All of these vendors collect and report on NetFlow for security incident response. Will we see these vendors pushed out of their marketing efforts?

Mike PottsRob SalvagnoIn an effort to further realign Cisco's business more toward helping companies defend their networks and devices, Cisco VP Rob Salvagno announced Cisco's acquisition of network visibility and context-aware security analytics vendor, Lancope, for $452.5 million in cash.

According to Lancope CEO Mike Potts:
 

"Our two companies enjoy a shared ideology of the network as the source of truth, and the similarity in our cultures has made this union especially appealing."

With its acquisition of Lancope, where does this leave Cisco's partnerships with the following companies who are also involved with traffic visibility?

All of these vendors collect and report on NetFlow for security incident response. Will we see these vendors pushed out of their marketing efforts?

Technology Political DilbertInterestingly, according to famous Cisco pundit Technology Political Dilbert:

"Cisco's acquisition of Lancope is a step in a better direction. Cisco didn't have much luck with their own NAM, vNAM, MARs products with Netflow & device reporting & ecosystem of vendors who support Netflow.

"Splunk Machine Data & Analytics would make more sense, as Amazon is using them for AWS as well.

"We will have to see how Cisco is able to integrate 'Landcope' Netflow and Threat Monitoring with 'ParStream' IoT Analytics to have a robust offering for Hybrid & Public InterCloud.

"I still don't feel that this is the magic bullet for them with the Security bolstering claim.

"I would like to see Cisco aquire 'Fire Eye' in this Day Zero Purpose Built VM Malware Leader."
