Introduction
Information is a strategic asset that can make or break a company's fortunes in today's global economy.
Computer internetworks are the electronic highways upon which that information travels and they unify the
world to create new and better ways of doing business.
With so much at stake, an organization's internetwork must have the ability to increase the overall
productivity of its people and resources. To do this, it can maximize the availability of applications while it
minimizes the total cost of ownership. This means providing users with continual access to a flexible and
reliable network. It also means keeping in check the expenses that an organization must absorb over time in
order to develop and maintain its information systems and services.
No company in the world can match Cisco Systems when it comes to maximizing an internetwork's
applications availability and minimizing its total cost of ownership. Over the last decade, our proven
technology and wide range of scalable solutions have enabled us to set the pace in the internetworking
industry. More than anything else, Cisco owes its leadership position to Cisco's unique and robust
Internetwork Operating System® (IOS). Cisco IOS is value−added software that resides at the heart of all
Cisco internetworking solutions.
The Cisco IOS is Cisco's key to help make information−intensive companies all over the world more
productive. And ultimately, that is the greatest benefit that any internetwork can provide.
