Cisco Gets Smaller

Never to be accused of standing still in any type of economy, networking giant Cisco is “getting” smaller. After years of struggling with what their mobile strategy will be, the company is figuring out how to take some of its core assets like WebEx and others and migrate them from the desktop to the mobile and handheld world, according to a report from Rethink Wireless.

Since January WebEx has been available on the iPhone, joining client iotum’s Calliflower in the virtual meeting space tool aisle in the Apple App store. That effort has given Cisco the kind of insight that shows they should be delivering a more complete experience across the board into mobile.

Add to that their growing interest in storage, and it’s no surprise to figure out that the cloud + mobile is where the company is going to see growth over the next few years.
