Cisco has received approval from the European Union for its $28 billion acquisition of Splunk, a leading data analytics company. The deal, which was announced earlier this year, has now cleared a major regulatory hurdle, bringing it one step closer to completion.
The acquisition of Splunk by Cisco is seen as a strategic move to strengthen Cisco's position in the data analytics market.
