Cisco and Hitachi Vantara were both listed as having cut or planning to cut hundreds of Silicon Valley jobs, according to the latest California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) release.

The document notes that Cisco eliminated 395 positions late last month across its operations in Milpitas and San Jose, California. The cuts were listed as “layoff permanent” in the filing.

"This is part of an ongoing process of aligning our investments and resources to meet the evolving needs of our customers and partners," Cisco noted in a statement to SDxCentral. "Our continued focus is on transforming Cisco and driving the innovation that will secure the long-term, profitable growth of the business. We will always offer our full support to impacted employees."

The move comes on the heels of Cisco posting a year-over-year dip in revenues, led by declines in its largest business units. The company’s lone bright spot was its security business, which posted a 9% increase in revenues.

Cisco last August cut nearly 500 positions in those same cities, which included software engineers, managers, and technical leaders.

Hitachi Vantara filed similar permanent layoff plans for 151 employees in Santa Clara. Hitachi Vantara opened its new headquarters in Santa Clara early last year.

The company just last week acquired the assets of failed Kubernetes-focused startup Containership for an undisclosed amount. Bobby Soni, COO for Hitachi Vantara’s Digital Infrastructure Business Unit, explained in a blog post that the acquisition included Containership’s “Kubernetes IP” that is based on its Kubernetes Engine.

“The software addresses critical cloud native application issues facing customers working with Kubernetes such as persistent storage support, centralized authentication, access control, audit logging, continuous deployment, workload portability, cost analysis, autoscaling, upgrades, and more,” Soni wrote.

The deal did not include any of Containership’s employees.

In a statement, the company noted that through its recent acquisitions it was "now simultaneously operating in the fast growth data management and analytics market and in the mature global data storage market. The global storage market is currently delivering only modest growth – a trend many of our competitors have also noted. We remain committed to the success of both our infrastructure and digital solutions businesses, however, like many of our industry peers, we have had to make some tough decisions to simplify and streamline our operations, improve our financial performance and position ourselves for long-term success – this includes headcount reductions to optimize our organization."

It did add that it was providing financial assistance and support for continuation of medial benefits for employees impacted by the job cuts.

Hitachi Vantara was formed in late 2017. That creation involved Hitachi streamlining three of its previous operations into a single unit. The new Hitachi Vantara operation took over from what were Hitachi’s Data Systems, Insight Group, and Pentaho software businesses, with a focus on data services and opportunities in the IoT space.

Soni at that time explained to Fortune that the company would not compete against established cloud providers like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

“This is all about standing up end-to-end solutions that can run on-premises or on Azure or Amazon,” Soni said. “Our strategy is to bring industrial IoT expertise, our software, and ability to manage and run technology. We don’t think many companies are in a position to pull all those things together.”
