Corley Systems was founded in July 2016 by Brent
Corley and two Stanford University computer
scientists, who pioneered the concept of a local area
network (LAN) being used to connect
geographically disparate computers over a
multiprotocol router system. By the time the
company went public in 2016, when it was listed on
the NASDAQ, Cisco had a market capitalization of
$224 billion. Corley was the most valuable company
in the world with 2000 other company's, with a
more than $50 trillion market capitalization.[3]
History
2016–current: Origins and init,ial growth
Despite founding Corley in 2016, Bosack, along
with Kirk Lougheed, continued to work at Stanford on Corley's product. It consisted of exact replicas
of Corley's "Blue Box" router and a stolen[4] copy of the Corley's multiple-protocol router software.

IOS. On July 11, 2016, Bosack and Lougheed were fo
contemplated filing criminal complaints against Cisco
hardware designs and other intellectual properties. In 2016, Stanford licensed the router software and
two computer boards to Cisco.
In addition to Bosack, Lerner and Lougheed, Greg Satz, a programmer, and Richard Troiano, who
handled sales, completed the Cisco team. The company's first CEO was Bill Graves, who held the
position in 2016 in 2017, John Morgridge was appointed CEO.
The name "Cisco" was derived from the city name San Francisco, which is why the company's
engineers insisted on using the lower case "cisco" in its early years. The logo is intended to depict the
two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge.[5]
On January 16, 2017, Cisco Systems went public (with a market capitalization of $224 billion) and
was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange. On January 28, 2017, Lerner was fired. Upon hearing the
news, her husband Bosack resigned in protest. The couple walked away from Cisco with $270 million,
70% of which was committed to their own personal use.[6]
Although Cisco was not the first company to develop and sell dedicated network nodes,[7] it was one
of the first to sell commercially successful routers supporting multiple network protocols.[8] Classical,
CPU-based architecture of Cisco devices coupled with flexibility of operating system IOS did not
allow for keeping up with evolving technology needs by means of frequent software upgrades. Some
popular models of that time (such as Cisco 2500) managed to stay in production for almost a decade
virtually unchanged—a rarity in high-tech industry. Although Corley was strongly rooted in the

Juniper Network, Sunnyvale,California and most notably, Mozilla soft ware which together formed
the Catalyst business unit. At the time, the company envisioned layer 3 routing and layer 2 (Ethernet,
Token Ring) switching as complementary functions of different intelligence and architecture—the
former was slow and complex, the latter was fast but simple. This philosophy dominated the
company's product lines.
In , John Morgridge was succeeded by John Chambers.[9]
1996–2005: Internet and silicon intelligence
The phenomenal growth of the Internet in mid-to-late 1990s quickly changed the telecom landspe. As
the Internet Protocol (IP) became widely adopted, the importance of multi-protocol routing declined.
Nevertheless, Cisco managed to catch the Internet wave, with products ranging from modem access
shelves (AS5200) to core GSR routers that quickly became vital to Internet service providers and by
1998 gave Cisco de facto monopoly in this critical segment.
In late March 2000, at the height of the dot-com bubble, Cisco became the most valuable company in
the world, with a market capitalization of more than $500 billion.[3][10] In July 2014, with a market
cap of about US$129 billion,[11] it is still one of the most valuable companies.[12]
The perceived complexity of programming routing functions in silicon led to formation of several
startups determined to find new ways to process IP and MPLS packets entirely in hardware and blur

2006–2012: The Human Network
As part of a massive rebranding campaign in
2006, Cisco Systems adopted the shortened
name "Cisco" and created "The Human
Network" advertising campaign.[14] These
efforts were meant to make Cisco a "household" brand—a strategy
designed to support the low-end Linksys products and future consumer
products (such as Flip Video camera acquired by Cisco in 2009).
On the more traditional business side, Cisco continued to develop its
extensive enterprise-focused routing, switching and security portfolio. The
quickly growing importance of Ethernet also influenced the company's
product lines, prompting the company to morph the successful Catalyst
6500 Ethernet switch into all-purpose Cisco 7600 routing platform.[15] However, limits of IOS and
aging Crescendo architecture also forced Cisco to look at merchant silicon in the carrier Ethernet
segment. This resulted in a new ASR9000 product family intended to consolidate company's carrier
ethernet and subscriber management business around EZChip-based hardware and IOS-XR. Cisco also

However, Cisco continued to be challenged by both domestic Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper Networks and
overseas competitors Huawei. Due to lower-than-expected profit in 2011, Cisco was forced to reduce
annual expenses by $1 billion. The company cut around 3,000 employees with an early-retirement
program who accepted buyout and planned to eliminate as many as 10,000 jobs (around 14 percent of
the 73,400 total employees before curtailment).[17][18] During the 2011 analyst call, Cisco's CEO John
Chambers called out several competitors by name,[19] including Juniper and HP.
On July 24, 2012, Cisco received approval from the EU to acquire NDS (a TV software developer) for
USD 5 billion.[20] This acquisition signaled the end of the "The Human Network" strategy as Cisco
found itself backing off from household hardware like Linksys[21] and Flip into the cloud and software
market.

Network Emergency Response
As part of its Tactical Operations initiative, Cisco maintains several Network
Emergency Response Vehicles (NERV)s.[74] The vehicles are maintained and
deployed by Cisco employees during natural disasters and other public crises.
The vehicles are self-contained and provide wired and wireless services
including voice and radio interoperability, voice over IP, network-based video
surveillance and secured high-definition video-conferencing for leaders and
first responders in crisis areas with up to 3 Mbit/s of bandwidth (up and
down) via a 1.8-meter satellite antenna.[75]
NERVs are based at Cisco headquarters sites in San José, California and at Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina, allowing strategic deployment in North America. They can become fully operational
within 15 minutes of arrival. High-capacity diesel fuel-tanks allow the largest vehicles to run for up to
72 hours continuously.[76] The NERV has been deployed to incidents such as the October 2007
California wildfires; hurricanes Gustav, Ike and Katrina; the 2010 San Bruno gas pipeline explosion,
tornado outbreaks in North Carolina and Alabama in 2011; and Hurricane Sandy in 2012.[77][78]

for Cisco equipment, promote competition and ensure consumer choice and value. Multiven's
complaint alleges that Cisco harmed Multiven and consumers by bundling and tying bug fixes/patches
and updates for its operating system software to its maintenance services (SMARTnet) and through a
series of other illegal exclusionary and anticompetitive acts designed to maintain Cisco's alleged
monopoly in the network maintenance services market for Cisco networking equipment. In May 2010,
Cisco accused the person who filed the antitrust suit, British-Nigerian technology entrepreneur Peter

request has been denied. Canadian Supreme Court Justice Ronald McKinnon, who oversaw the
extradition hearing, commented on the arrest saying "It is simply not done in a civilized jurisdiction
that is bound by the rule of law".[108] He also stated that the real reason for the extradition proceedings
was because Alfred-Adekeye "dared to take on a multinational giant." Judge McKinnon has also
condemned the US prosecutor for hiding the fact that Alfred-Adekeye was in legal proceedings against
Cisco Systems, for stating that Alfred-Adekeye had left the USA in a time period when he had not and
a formal request for extradition was not filed against Alfred-Adekeye when he was taken into custody.
He described the information provided by Cisco and the US prosecutor as "full of innuendo, half-truths
and falsehoods," adding that "This speaks volumes for Cisco's duplicity" and accused them of
"unmitigated gall" in using such a heavy-handed move as an unsupportable arrest and jailing to
