Cisco has been a company whose outlook
and performance has been the indicator of
the overall tech industry's health. But over
the past five years the company has been
battling change and the odds are stacked up
high. With its mainstay businesses of
enterprise networking, telco equipment, and
collaboration coming under cloud and the
cloud business not exactly making rain for
Cisco, the company is hurting itself in the
short term.
Yet, Cisco is working furiously to reinvent
its leadership. Here's what it says: "Just as
we combined storage, networks and servers,
we are combining applications and
networks at scale. We're delivering
solutions-not just technology. And we are
transforming our business models toward
more recurring product, software and cloud
revenues. We believe that in the coming
days most major market transitions will be
networking centric." Cisco is placing huge
bets on the second coming of networking;
the creation of the giant Internet of things
which it calls ‘Internet of Everything'.
Cisco showed strength in a number of areas.
It saw significant market traction in
shipping Application Centric Infrastructure
(ACI)-enabled platforms, specifically the
Nexus 9000, going from more than 20
customers to 175 customers, with the
pipeline close to 1,000 customers
worldwide. The company claims that it is
the leading cloud infrastructure provider
citing Synergy Research. UCS continues to
cement its place as the leading platform for
hybrid cloud environments, big data, and
virtual desktop services, gaining market
share for the 17th consecutive quarter since
it was introduced. In India, Cisco has held
or grown market share in 6 out of the 8
categories that it tracks, the company
reveals.
24 out of the top 25 banks are on Cisco and
so are the top 10 IT Services companies.
65% of mobile transactions run on Cisco's
packet core infrastructure. Cisco also leads
in the conditional access and digital
subscription market for television reaching
40 mn homes or 200 mn viewers in the
country.
The company reports strong growth in the
data center market driven by demand for
open and highly secure hybrid cloud
environments, though numbers are not
available. Cisco is trying to differentiate
itself from other infrastructure companies
through initiatives like Application Centric
Infrastructure and Intercloud. Intercloud
leverages application-centric infrastructure
to deliver, together with our partners, the
first global open network of clouds. We
have already announced major global
Intercloud partners such as Telstra. It is
also the perceptible step towards IoE which
the company sees as an opportunity to
unlock nearly $19 tn in economic value
that would accrue to the world if all things
are networked.
Amongst new technology announcements,
notable ones include nPower and NCS, Cisco
IOx, Cisco EnergyWise, and Videoscape TV.
nPower is an advanced network processor
designed to power IoE and Network
Convergence System (NCS), a network fabric
family designed to serve as the foundation
of a massively scalable, smarter and more
adaptable Internet to power IoE. Cisco IOx,
advances its vision of fog computing by
helping businesses take advantage of the
billions of devices already connected in the
Internet of Things (IoT). Cisco EnergyWise
suite helps enterprises become more energy
efficient and reduce carbon emissions.
Videoscape TV services delivery platform
can now host new cloud video capabilities.
Tata Sky in India has deployed Cisco
Videoscape to enable new multiscreen
viewing experiences beyond the set-top box.
Tata Sky is the first platform in Asia to
deploy this solution. http://www.dqindia.com/dataquest/dq-top-20/218620/dq-top-cisco-systems-india
