30 years of Cisco: The networking giant's boldest predictions over the years
December of 1984 was a month filled with notable moments. China's Premier Zhao Ziyang and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher signed the Hong Kong Treaty. In the world of sports, Eric Dickerson broke OJ Simpson's NFL rushing record and Doug Flutie won the Heisman trophy. In entertainment circles, Madonna's "Like a Virgin" hit No. 1, launching the Material Girl's phenomenal career. And, in the technology world, Cisco Systems was born, kicking off one of the most unprecedented eras of growth that the business world has ever seen.Back in 1984, very few people had actually heard of the internet. Personally, I had just started my undergrad program at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. As a computer science student, we were all given internet accounts on a Unix mainframe. I had access to telnet, email through a program called "elm," ftp, and an awesome application called read news so I could keep up with other Star Trek and Dungeons and Dragons geeks.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

WebRTC close to tipping point as Cisco, Microsoft announce products
It was all the way back in the Spring of 2011 that Google released WebRTC, its nascent real-time, browser-based, HTML5-powered, no-plugin-required video chat project to the public. In the three and a half years since, the Internet Engineering Task Force and the W3C have been working together to try to formalize the standard, prepare the stable 1.0 release, and get it ready for prime time.That prime time has been a long time coming: Plenty of startups, notable among them Vidyo and Twilio, have taken to WebRTC as the protocol that helps them offer video chat from modern browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. But while the big technology vendors have offered their support, guidance, and code commits, very few have taken the leap to actually doing anything major with it. Even Google only changed its flagship Hangouts messaging tool over from a plugin to WebRTC this past July. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
SDN groups respond to Cisco's "game over"
A couple of organizations are taking issues with Cisco CEO John Chambers' claims that it's "game over" for SDN and that Cisco has won the SDN battle with its Application Centric Infrastructure. The Open Networking Foundation, which is encouraging standardization of the classical SDN model of decoupled control and data planes facilitated by the OpenFlow protocol, has butt heads with ONF member Cisco before.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Cisco, Arista disaggregating?
Should Cisco and Arista make like Cumulus Networks and develop versions of their operating systems for bare metal hardware? If the market shifts dramatically toward white box switching from brand name networking, they may have to.If they want to appeal to hyperscale cloud providers attracted to disaggregated networking elements, they might have to. And even though bare metal versions of Cisco NX-OS and Arista EOS would run on merchant silicon-based ODM hardware, the products would be an attempt to counter and mitigate the incursion of white box switches in their high-end, high-value accounts.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
