Cisco Systems, Inc. is a world leader in networking
for the Internet. Today, networks are an essential part of business,
education, government and home communications, and Cisco Internet
Protocol-based (IP) networking solutions are the foundation of these
networks. Cisco hardware, software, and service offerings are used
to create Internet solutions that allow individuals, companies,
and countries to increase productivity, improve customer satisfaction
and strengthen competitive advantage.
The Cisco name has become synonymous with the Internet,
as well as with the productivity improvements that Internet business
solutions provide. Cisco focuses on three broad areas to guide its
business growth: core technologies, routing and switching; the service
provider market; and Advanced Technology markets. At Cisco, the
vision is to change the way people work, live, play and learn.
The company was founded in 1984 by a small group
of computer scientists from Stanford University. Since the company's
inception, Cisco engineers have been leaders in the development
of Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking technologies. Today,
with more than 34,000 employees worldwide, Cisco remains committed
to creating networks that are smarter, thanks to built-in intelligent
network services; faster, in their ability to perform at ever-increasing
speeds; and more durable, with a generational approach to an evolutionary
infrastructure.
