Cisco Systems' products and services focus upon three market segments—enterprise and service provider, small business and the home.
"Corporate market" refers to enterprise networking and service providers.
Security
Stealthwatch, Identity Services Engine (ISE), Tetration, Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), Firewall Management Center (FMC), SecureX, Umbrella, CloudLock, Duo, Secure Email, Cisco Cloud Mailbox Defense, Secure Web Appliance, Cloud Secure Email, Secure Email and Web Manager, AnyConnect, Virtual Private Network, Intrusion Detection Prevention System (IDPS), TALOS.
Note: Cisco is the biggest security company in the world.
Small businesses include home businesses and (usually technology-based) startups. [6]
"Home user" refers to individuals or families who require networking services in the home. [9] (Link to cited archived page broken, incorrect, or otherwise nonfunctional)
Cisco became a major provider of Voice over IP to enterprises, and is now moving into the home user market through its acquisitions of Scientific Atlanta and Linksys. Scientific Atlanta provides VoIP equipment to cable service providers such as Time Warner, Cablevision, Rogers Communications, UPC and others; Linksys has partnered with companies such as Skype, Microsoft and Yahoo! to integrate consumer VoIP services with wireless and cordless phones.
Cisco partners can offer cloud-based services based on Cisco's virtualized Unified Computing System (UCS). A part of the Cisco Unified Services Delivery Solution that includes hosted versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM), Cisco Unified Contact Center, Cisco Unified Mobility, Cisco Unified Presence, Cisco Unity Connection (unified messaging) and Cisco Webex Meeting Center. [22]
As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility mission, [23] Cisco Tactical Operations (TACOPS) employees and Disaster Incident Response Team (DIRT) volunteers maintain two Network Emergency Response Vehicles (NERV)s. [24] The vehicles are deployed by the TACOPS/DIRT teams 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. [25]
NERVs are based at Cisco headquarters sites in San Jose, 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. [26] 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. [27] [28] Cisco never charges for TACOPS/DIRT team deployments. [29]
The Tactical Operations team maintains and deploys smaller, more portable communication kits to emergencies outside of North America. In 2010, the team deployed to assist in earthquake recovery in Haiti and in Christchurch (New Zealand). In 2011, they deployed to flooding in Brazil, as well as in response to the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. [24] [30]
In 2011, Cisco received the Innovation Preparedness award from the American Red Cross Silicon Valley Chapter for its development and use of these vehicles in disasters. [31]
