| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | <br/>"Cisco Systems is known among the technology elite in Silicon Valley as one of the most successful companies to emerge from the Valley in many years. It has been dubbed computing's next Superpower." "The company, which makes specialized computers that route information through a network - acting as a sort of data traffic cop - has captured 85 percent of the market for routers used as the backbone of the biggest network of them all, the Internet." "Making the Cisco Connection deftly traces the networking giant's path to success, from its founding couple, Sandra Lerner and Leonard Bosack, to current CEO John Chambers. It highlights the company's astounding knack for buying other businesses and making them part of a huge conglomerate; its own highly developed use of technology; and its unusually tight-knit culture. Featuring the perspective of top Cisco executives and competitors, this book reveals how Cisco's technology, employees, and even its competition have blended to make Cisco possibly the most important company shaping the future of communications."--Jacket. |
