Cisco Launches Splunk AI POD for On-Premises and Air-Gapped Deployments
Cisco Systems pushed Splunk AI deeper into tightly controlled enterprise environments with a new AI POD built for on-premises, private-cloud and air-gapped deployments. The validated setup brings together Cisco infrastructure, Nvidia accelerated computing and Kubernetes-based software, letting enterprises run AI workloads without sending sensitive information outside their own environments. Splunk AI Assistant is available now, while Agent Launchpad is scheduled for later this year, and customers can host selected models from Google, OpenAI and Cisco, with Nvidia models expected to follow. Splunk is also adding Tokenomics, a capability designed to track token spending across AI agents and coding tools while estimating future consumption. Cisco shares climbed nearly 3.3% to $111.255 Thursday, though GuruFocus shows the stock trading 49.36% above its GF Value of $74.49, with product pricing and committed customer volumes still undisclosed.

Datadog Enterprise Bookings Double as $100,000-Plus Customers Reach 4,720
Datadog's enterprise new logo annualized bookings more than doubled year over year in the second quarter of 2026, with customers generating $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue climbing to about 4,720, a 23% increase from roughly 3,850 a year prior, while total customer count rose to approximately 33,400 from 31,400. Over 750 AI-native customers now rely on Datadog, and all 10 of the largest AI companies are counted among its customers, with MCP tool calls quadrupling quarter over quarter. The momentum builds on a quarter in which revenues grew 36% year over year to $1.12 billion, non-GAAP operating margin reached 23% from 20%, free cash flow rose to $279 million from $165 million, and remaining performance obligations reached $3.47 billion, up 43%. Third-quarter revenue guidance of $1.135 billion to $1.145 billion and a full-year range of $4.45 billion to $4.47 billion embed a previously flagged usage reduction from its single largest customer, while full-year non-GAAP operating income guidance of $1.01 billion to $1.03 billion points to continued margin discipline against elevated GAAP operating expense growth tied partly to the Adaptive ML acquisition. Rivals Dynatrace and Elastic are reporting comparable enterprise expansion, with Dynatrace posting record new-logo annual recurring revenue growth of more than 160% and total ARR of $2.14 billion, up 17%, and Elastic growing its $100,000-plus ACV customer cohort past 1,800 accounts alongside 27% remaining performance obligation growth. Datadog shares have surged 74.7% year to date, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings stands at $2.52 per share.
Cisco Launches Nvidia-Backed Splunk AI POD for Air-Gapped Environments
Cisco Systems has pushed Splunk AI deeper into private infrastructure with a new Nvidia-backed AI POD built for self-managed and air-gapped environments. The platform, available now, pairs Cisco infrastructure with Nvidia computing and Kubernetes, while Splunk's Tokenomics tool is designed to track AI spending across agents and employee coding tools and estimate future consumption before the billing cycle closes. Cisco is also widening the commercial opportunity beyond the data center after signing a multiyear agreement with Amazon Web Services to jointly develop security products. Cisco said it received $9.3 billion of hyperscaler AI-infrastructure orders during fiscal 2026, equal to roughly 14.7% of its $63.3 billion annual revenue, though orders are not revenue. Cisco shares were up roughly 0.1% at $110.24.
