Viptela On Cisco ISR Routers?

Cisco plans to combine Viptela's cloud-first management, orchestration, and overlay technologies with Cisco's ISR platform and IWAN solution. Although Cisco declined to discuss integration plans for Viptela, Prashanth Shenoy, vice president of product marketing for enterprise networks at Cisco, told CRN that integration can start immediately after the acquisition closes given that Viptela offers an overlay technology.

Cisco said it will announce the integration roadmap and go-to-market plan after the acquisition closes, which is expected in the second half of 2017.
