What is the modern history of Cisco Systems?

Cisco Systems was founded in 1984 by Stanford University computer scientists Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner. Bosack was a pioneer of Local Area Network (LAN) - the router-based PC-communication technology.

Cisco grew rapidly, and by the time the company went public in 1990 it had a market capitalisation of $224 million. A decade later at the peak of the dotcom bubble, Cisco was the world’s most valuable company with a $500 billion-plus market capitalisation. Over its more than three decades of existence, Cisco has made almost 200 acquisitions. Of these, 11 deals were in excess of $1 billion.

In 2014, Cisco announced $150 million of global funding for early-stage firms specialising in the Internet of Things. Cisco also increasingly sought to focus on cloud-based products, and started making a gradual exit from the consumer market to concentrate on being an enterprise-based company. As part of this, in 2015 Cisco announced the divesture of its TV set-top-box and cable modem business to Technicolor SA for $600 million.

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
