"The momentum of the Internet revolution continues to accelerate across both business and government sectors on a worldwide basis," said John Chambers, president and CEO of Cisco Systems. "A University of Texas study found that in the U.S. alone the Internet Economy would account for more than $500 billion in revenues in 1999, an increase of more than 68% over 1998. This continued economic growth together with Cisco's recognized expertise in the Internet, positions us to lead in the Internet Economy."
Cisco continues to advance its end-to-end Internet solutions for each of its key markets.
In the service provider marketplace, Cisco continued to advance its strategy for New World integrated data, voice, and video networks and made progress in all key areas. In the optical networking space, Cisco announced it would acquire Pirelli Optical Systems, a leader in optical transport, marking Cisco's first entry into the dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) market. Strengthening its optical internetworking portfolio, Cisco introduced two additions to the Cisco 12000 gigabit switch router (GSR) product family that allow service providers to deploy terabit-capacity networks.
The new Cisco 12016 GSR and 12000 Terabit System provide a logical evolution of the GSR family. The Cisco 12016 GSR is a 320-Gbps, OC-192-capable platform that supports all existing line cards. The new Cisco 12000 Terabit System scales the GSR family to a five-terabit system. Cisco also announced the acquisition of Internet Engineering Group to help service providers build next-generation high-speed networks.
In the small and medium-sized business market, Cisco expanded its ecosystem of partners by joining with more than a dozen companies to accelerate the delivery of Internet business applications and services to help small and medium-sized businesses participate in the Internet Economy. In support of its ecosystem of partners, Cisco introduced the Catalyst. mid-market LAN switching solution. This solution enables small and medium-sized businesses experiencing high-growth and new office sites to support strategic applications such as supply-chain management, business-to-business e-commerce, and customer relationship management.
In the enterprise market, Cisco continued to increase acceptance of its end-to-end Internet solutions and advanced its New World services portfolio through three acquisitions in the areas of virtual private networking (VPN) and consulting services. Cisco announced the acquisitions of Altiga Networks and Compatible Systems to provide both enterprise and service provider customers with industry-leading remote-access and extranet solutions. The services portfolio acquired from Worldwide Data Systems broadens Cisco's ecosystem of professional service and channel partners to enable the design, implementation, and delivery of Internet-based data, voice, and video networks. Cisco continued to enhance the Catalyst family of products by extending the functionality and intelligence of the Catalyst 6000 family to its new Catalyst 4000 and 5000 solutions.
"It is becoming increasingly evident that the adoption of Internet applications is key to success in the Internet economy. By providing Internet systems and expertise, Cisco is helping customers implement the right Internet architecture and application strategy for their businesses. The resulting increase in productivity, agility, and competitive advantage will define the winners in the Internet revolution," concluded Chambers.
