Cisco's recent investments into SD-WAN and hyperconvergance

Hello all,

I find it curious that Cisco has recently acquired an SD-WAN company and is now making moves to acquire a hyperconvergance company.

We all Cisco invest less into R&D and more into acquisitions.

Could they be planning on adding a an IAAS service that includes separating the control grid into a larger networking service provided by Cisco for safer, faster communications?
