About Cisco Systems
Cisco Systems is the networking giant. It sells the switches, routers, optics, and security products that connect enterprise offices, carrier networks, and data centers, earning revenue from hardware, software subscriptions, and services.
Its AI portfolio spans both sides of the equation: infrastructure the AI era needs, like data center switching and optics, and AI inside its products, including the Cisco AI Assistant, AI Network Analytics, Hypershield security, and ThousandEyes AI for monitoring network health.
Founded in 1984 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Cisco trades on the NASDAQ, is led by CEO Chuck Robbins, and employs roughly 86,200 people.
Cisco Systems in the AI buildout
Cisco sits in the Cloud & Hyperscalers and Cybersecurity AI layers. AI infrastructure orders from hyperscalers and enterprises, switches and optics for AI clusters, have become a headline growth driver for a company whose networking base is otherwise mature. The open question is share: its exposure hinges on winning Ethernet-based AI cluster deployments against Arista and whitebox rivals. Supercycle scores its exposure as moderate, real AI momentum on top of a very large legacy business.
CSCO is tracked in Cloud & Hyperscalers and Cybersecurity AI, rated Growing on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
