“CIO’s continue to tell us that UCS and Nexus are their primary strategy in the datacenter and they are increasingly evolving Cisco from a communications partner to a strategic IT partner. From the onset, we took an architectural approach to this market and that has driven unique and differentiated value. I could not be more pleased with the continued innovation, execution momentum and value we are

driving.” John ChambersFebruary 2013

What Analysts are Saying

Cisco joins top 5 server vendors for the first time, IDC says

IDG News Service - Cisco Systems has entered the list of the top 5 server vendors for the first time, drawing level with Fujitsu and Oracle in a tie for fourth place, research firm IDC said on Wednesday.

Cisco ended the fourth quarter with 3.3 percent of server systems revenue, compared with 3.4 percent for Fujitsu and 4.1 percent for Oracle. That put the three vendors in a statistical tie for fourth place, IDC said. Oracle's server business fared worst, declining 18 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011, while Cisco's surged 51 percent

Gartner also released its server market-share figures Wednesday. Cisco made Gartner's top 5 for the volume of servers it sold, something it has achieved before, but not for server revenue.
