Cisco stars: Where are they now?

Turkey

Cisco's leadership at the top, namely John Chambers, has been as steady as it comes. He became CEO in 1995 and took over as chairman in 2006. But the rest of the executive team has had its share of change over the years, from those who might have hit a ceiling at Cisco to those who wanted to recharge their batteries at start-ups. Here's a look at where some high profile Cisco alums, such as Charlie Giancarlo (pictured) have gone.

  • Brocade/Foundry "resonating" as Cisco alternative: CTO Submitted by Cisco Subnet on Wed, 11/25/2009

    Following a solid fourth quarter in which sales rose 31%, Brocade says the integration of its Foundry Networks purchase is complete. Penetration of its Foundry-based Ethernet/IP portfolio into data center accounts doubled in the quarter, which means Brocade's position as an alternative to Cisco is "resonating with people," says CTO Dave Stevens.

    Alcatel-Lucent takes bite out of Cisco's SP edge router market share by Brad Reese

    Networking and telecommunications industry market information gurus, The Dell’Oro Group, published its Routers Report 3Q09, which stated the following: "Alcatel-Lucent reported strong performance in 3Q09.

    How NIKTO saved my tail on a cold Wisconsin morning by Jimmy Ray Purser

    Talking crap and pissin' folks off. These are a few of my favorite things - in a good way, of course! Not a type "A" win-at-all-cost jag-off like the folks you want to punch right square in the face at a sporting event. For me it's to bring out the competitive spirit and comradeship between friends. This is most likely why I am drawn to fishing so much. Challenging each other, to see who gets to take the walk of glory vs. the walk of shame back to the truck, is always a good time. So here... 3

    Thanksgiving Blog Spread: CCNA Difficulties, CCNA Security, CCIE Troubleshooting, and More by Wendell Odom

    Happy Thanksgiving to ya'll. I know with the flat Earth today that some of you folks out there don't celebrate the US Thanksgiving holiday, but we do, and I'm out most of the week. So while we don't say or type everyday a thanks to those people we appreciate, it seems an appropriate week for me to say thanks to all of you who read, post, and answer my polls regularly. The blog thing has turned from a small overhead chore into something I look forward to - and the biggest reason for that is the... 4

Security advisories from Cisco and elsewhere

Cisco issues TLS advisory While everyone was distracted by the HP/3Com deal, Cisco this week quietly issued a security advisory warning of an "industry-wide" vulnerability in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol that could impact any Cisco product that uses TLS or the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Cisco was still determining which products are affected at the time of this post, but had also already...
