Cisco tax gives way to IC opportunities
November 18, 2009
Compared with today, in 1990 there were many more computer suppliers, including Digital, NCR, Unisys, HP, and IBM. The typical data center of 1990 used computers from different suppliers with each supplier implementing its own network protocol for connectivity. Interworking and routing data among these diverse protocols was a challenging task. Cisco was one of the first to offer routers to support multiple network protocols. By addressing this complex problem, Cisco delivered high value and could charge a premium for its products.
