Power a cloud-delivered digital workspace experience

 "Together, Citrix and Wrike will deliver the solutions needed to power a cloud-delivered digital workspace experience that enables teams to securely access the resources and tools they need to collaborate and get work done in the most efficient and effective way possible across any channel, device, or location," David Henshall, president and CEO of Citrix, said in a statement.

Cisco started the year by picking up the optical technology firm Acacia for what can you do with a computer science degree. Originally announced in July 2019, there was a lot of back and forth over the deal, with Cisco paying an additional $1.9 billion to get the purchase over the line.

Based in Massachusetts, Acacia specializes in high-speed optical systems such as digital signal processing, photonic integrated circuit modules, and transceivers for use in networking products and data centers — a set of technologies Cisco clearly sees as integral to future networks linking data centers, cloud, and service providers. "Together we will ignite our strategy to transform the optical world as we know it, with innovative solutions to boost network capacity inside and outside the data center," Bill Gartner, senior vice president and general manager, Cisco Optical Systems and Optics Group, said in a statement.
