“We are executing well on our
three-year plan to drive earnings faster than revenue. Our operational focus
continues to yield positive results — we hit our billion dollar expense
reduction a quarter early — and our ongoing innovation enables our customers
to solve their critical business needs. You will continue to see a focused and
aggressive Cisco that is helping our customers use intelligent networks to
transform their businesses,” said John Chambers, Cisco
chairman and CEO.

analytic capabilities.

Corporate Social Responsibility report which details how Cisco applies its
expertise, technology and partnership strategies to address environmental,
social and governance issues.


Cisco announced that in just over
two years its new Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), which integrates
computing, networking, management and virtualization, has captured the
attention of data center managers and CIOs alike — to date, over 10,000
customers worldwide, including 3,000 in Europe, have deployed Cisco UCS.

framework that combines the foundational elements required to enable
organizations to build, manage and connect public, private and hybrid clouds.
