Company Announces "Internet for the Future" Strategy and Industry's Most Ambitious Processor Architecture
Cisco recently presented details of its technology strategy to build a new Internet – designed to drive digital innovation by overcoming the performance, economics and energy consumption limitations of today's infrastructure. With a multi-year focus, defining the Internet for decades to come, Cisco's strategy is already offering technological advances to pave the way for developers to create applications and services they have only begun to imagine.
As part of this strategy, Cisco introduced Cisco Silicon OneTM, a new-of-its-kind network processor architecture for the industry; the new Cisco 8000 series, made up of powerful routers that meet the operators' highest requirements, built on the new processor; and new purchase options that allow customers to consume the company's technology through flexible business models.

These future generations of applications will drive complexity beyond the capabilities that current Internet infrastructure can support.
In this context, Cisco executives inform that the company's strategy will be based on the development and investments in three key technology areas: processor, optics and software.
"Breaking innovation to the next level, far beyond what we know today, is critical for the future, and we believe that processor, optical technology and software are technological levers that will achieve this result," said David Goeckeler, vice president executive and general manager of Cisco's Networking and Security business.
