Cisco System, Inc. (Cisco), incorporated on December 10, 1984, designs and sells lines of products, provides services and delivers integrated solutions to develop and connect networks around the world, building the Internet. The Company is engaged in designing, manufacturing and selling Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking and other products related to the communications and information technology (IT) industry, and provides services associated with these products and their use. The Company operates its business through three segments: The Americas; Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific, Japan, and China (APJC).

The Company groups its products and technologies into the various categories, such as Switching, Next-Generation Network (NGN) Routing, Collaboration, Service Provider Video, Data Center, Wireless, Security, and Other Products. These products, primarily integrated by Cisco IOS Software, link geographically dispersed local-area networks (LANs), metropolitan-area networks (MANs) and wide-area networks (WANs). The Company's other products category consists of certain emerging technologies and other networking products. In addition to its product offerings, it provides a range of service offerings, including technical support services and advanced services. Cisco delivers its technology and services to its customers as solutions for their priorities, including cloud, video, mobility, security, collaboration and analytics. Its customers include businesses of all sizes, public institutions, governments and communications service providers.

Switching

Switching is an integral networking technology used in campuses, branch offices, and data centers. Switches are used within buildings in local-area networks (LANs) and across great distances in wide-area networks (WANs). The Company's switching products offer various forms of connectivity to end users, workstations, IP phones, wireless access points, and servers and also function as aggregators on LANs and WANs. Its switching systems employ several technologies, including Ethernet, Power over Ethernet, Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Packet over Synchronous Optical Network and Multiprotocol Label Switching. Many of the company's switches are designed to support an integrated set of advanced services, allowing organizations to be more efficient by using one switch for multiple networking functions rather than multiple switches to accomplish the same functions.

The product platforms within company's Switching product category, in which it also includes storage products, are Fixed-Configuration Switches, which include Cisco Catalyst Series (Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series, Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series, Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series and Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series) and Cisco Nexus Series (Cisco Nexus 2000 Series, Cisco Nexus 3000 Series, Cisco Nexus 5000 Series and Cisco Nexus 6000 Series); Modular Switches, which include Cisco Catalyst Series (Cisco Catalyst 4500-E Series, Cisco Catalyst 6500-E Series and Cisco Catalyst 6800 Series) and Cisco Nexus Series (Cisco Nexus 7000 Series and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series), and Storage, which include Cisco MDS Series (Cisco MDS 9000). Fixed-configuration switches are designed to cover a range of deployments in both large enterprises, as well as in small and medium-sized businesses, providing a foundation for converged data, voice and video services. Its fixed-configuration switches range from small, standalone switches to stackable models that function as a single, scalable switching unit. Modular switches are used by enterprise and service provider customers with large-scale network needs. These products are designed to offer customers to deploy numerous, as well as advanced, networking services without degrading overall network performance.

Fixed-configuration and modular switches also include products, such as optics modules, which are shared across multiple product platforms. Its switching portfolio also includes virtual switches and related offerings. These products provide switching functionality for virtual machines and are designed to operate with virtual services to optimize security and application behavior. The Company's Cisco ACI consists of the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches, a Cisco advanced programmable interrupt controller (APIC) and accompanying centralized policy management capability, integrated physical and virtual infrastructure, and an open ecosystem of network, storage, management and orchestration vendors.
