Cisco and Huawei compete not only in the carrier market, but also in the enterprise network market. It stands to reason that American enterprises have natural genes in the enterprise network market, and Cisco was once one of the industry benchmark enterprises in this market. However, the rise of China enterprises such as Huawei ZTE has also changed the status quo of the industry.

At present, the overall situation of the domestic enterprise network market is that Huawei is absolutely ahead, and some industries of Cisco still occupy a place. It can be said that Huawei has slowly occupied the Cisco market for more than ten years.

IDC report shows that Huawei routers and switches account for nearly 50% of domestic enterprise networks, which is terrible, so Cisco switches basically have no chance. But for routers, Cisco still has a share in some industries.

In fact, Cisco is not the Cisco it used to be. Because of its high stock price, market value, profit and cash, Cisco embarked on the road of sustainable development bought by buy buy.

Cisco just announced an acquisition. On Tuesday, Cisco announced plans to acquire Acacia Communications for $70 a share in cash. Cisco said that the acquisition will strengthen Cisco's optical system product portfolio. Acacia is currently the network provider of Cisco and the core device manufacturer in the field of optical communication in Silicon Valley.

Mainly through the realization of optical interconnection technology on the platform based on silicon. Supply for major optical communication enterprises such as Cisco and ZTE.
