Cisco has completed the acquisition of privately held WHIPTAIL: stakes and opportunities.

With this acquisition, we talk about the simplification of physical and virtual data center environments and process more data in less time.

Henceforth, WHIPTAIL will bolster Cisco's Unified Computing System™ (UCS) strategy and enhance application performance by integrating scalable solid state memory into the UCS's fabric computing

architecture.This means, Cisco is evolving the UCS architecture by integrating data acceleration capability into the compute layer.

Under the terms of agreement, WHIPTAIL employees will be integrated into the Computing Systems Product Group led by Paul Perez, vice president and general manager. Cisco will pay approximately $415 million in cash and retention-based incentives in exchange for all shares of WHIPTAIL.
