Cisco's "Best Of" for 2009..
At each meeting, we give away a handful of
Cisco Press books that have been donated by Cisco Press. These are typically brand new releases
by leading experts in the field - thanks Jamie!
Meeting sponsors may also provide door prizes,
so make sure you get your ticket and as always - you must be present to win.
2009
started with a bang
and ended with a bash for
Cisco.
The company entered the data center blade
server market in the beginning of the year and ended the year with two
acquisitions
worth a combined $6.3 billion. The acquisitions made Cisco the market leader in videoconferencing
and allowed it to address the LTE market for 4G mobile Internet applications.
Cisco also ended 2009 by celebrating its
25th anniversary.
So Cisco entered at least three new markets
in 2009. Sandwiched in between were some significant events designed to keep the company at
the forefront of the industry, such as
smart grid initiatives
for cities and homes; the purchase of a
pocket camcorder
company
to drive bandwidth-consuming video traffic; a significant refresh of its wildly successful branch
router line; and formation of a joint venture company with EMC to accelerate adoption of their
respective data center products.
