Cisco’s History
Cisco was founded in 1984 by a group of computer scientists from Stanford University. The company has come a long way since then, and is now a global leader in IT and networking. Cisco has been celebrating its seven-year anniversary, and there is no better time to take a look at the company’s history.
Cisco’s humble beginnings
Cisco’s humble beginnings can be traced back to two Stanford University computer science graduates, Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner. In 1984, they developed and launched the first router that allowed different types of computer networks to communicate with each other. This invention revolutionized the internet as we know it today and established Cisco as a leading player in the tech industry
Since then, Cisco has continued to innovate and grow, acquiring over 200 companies and becoming a major player in various fields such as networking, security, cloud computing, and more. Today, Cisco is celebrating its 7th anniversary as a public company with a strong focus on the future. With over $50 billion in annual revenue, Cisco is well positioned to continue its leadership in the tech industry for years to come.
Cisco’s exponential growth
Cisco’s exponential growth is largely due to its aggressive acquisition strategy. The company has acquired over 200 companies since it was founded in 1984, with 70 of those coming since 2010. This has helped Cisco become a leader in the tech industry, with a market cap of over $200 billion as of 2018.
Cisco’s acquisitions have been focused on adding new technologies and capabilities to its portfolio. For example, the acquisitions of Meraki and Jasper Technologies have helped Cisco expand into the cloud-based management space. The acquisition of AppDynamics has allowed Cisco to add application performance monitoring (APM) to its product offerings.
The company has also been focused on acquiring firms that can help it enter new markets. For example, the acquisitions of Acacia Communications and Duo Security have helped Cisco expand into the data center and security markets, respectively.
Looking ahead, Cisco is expected to continue its aggressive acquisition strategy as it looks to maintain its position as a leading tech giant.

Cisco’s Future
Cisco is a giant in the tech industry and this past year they celebrated seven years as a publicly traded company. They have been in the news recently for their strong earnings, and they are a company that is continuing to grow. In this article, we will discuss Cisco’s future and what they are doing to continue to grow.
Cisco’s continued growth
Cisco is the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet. As networks become increasingly complex, Cisco continues to grow. Seven years ago, Cisco was a $1.2 billion company with 3,500 employees. Today, it is a $7.5 billion company with 25,000 employees worldwide. In the last two years alone, Cisco’s workforce has increased by 50%.
Cisco’s growth is due in part to its strong focus on research and development. Cisco spends more on research and development than any other networking company – nearly $2 billion a year. This investment has resulted in Cisco’s ability to develop groundbreaking technologies that keep it at the forefront of the networking industry.

Cisco’s vision for the future
Cisco’s vision is to power an inclusive future for all.
A decade ago, our founders launched Cisco with the vision of connecting people everywhere and changing the way we work, live, play, and learn. Since then, we have taken this same spirit of possibility and used it to power an incredible transformation in how the world communicates and collaborate. Today, as more people live and work in connected cities and as digital technology becomes more ubiquitous, we stand at the forefront of another great wave of technological change—one that has the potential to make life even more amazing for everyone on the planet.
Looking ahead, we see a future where everyone is included in the benefits of technology—where every person on earth can have access to healthcare, education, economic opportunity, and a better quality of life. We see a future where manufacturing is reimagined for a new era of sustainability and competitiveness; where farms are more precise and productive; where energy is sourced responsibly and distributed efficiently; where our cities are safe, clean, and sustainable; where transportation is easy, fast, and congestion-free; where homes are comfortable and secure; where businesses are nimble and thrive.
We see a future powered by ubiquitous connectivity, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), 3D printing; by 5G networks that are faster than fiber; by secure multicloud platforms that give us instant access to an infinite amount of computing power; by digital twins that help us design perfect systems before they’re built; by digital experiences that anticipate our needs before we even know them ourselves.
In this future, technology will not just connect us—it will understand us. And it will provide personalized experiences that make us healthier, happier human beings.
This is our vision for the inclusive future—and it starts with you.
