Cisco System,Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO, HKSE: 4333 ) is an American multinational corporation with 54,000 employees and annual revenue of US $28.48 billion as of 2006. , Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :CSCO CSCO Cisco Systems Incorporated (stock symbol) CSCO Chief Supply Chain Officer ), today announced that New York-based Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City is a cancer treatment and research institution founded in 1884 as the New York Cancer Hospital. The main campus is located at 1275 York Avenue, between 67th and 68th Streets, with other locations in New , the world's oldest and largest institution devoted to cancer prevention, patient care, research and education, is deploying Cisco Catalyst switches with 10 Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. (10GbE) interfaces throughout its campus networks to support mission-critical, converged applications. Memorial Sloan-Kettering is deploying 10GbE throughout their network for several key services. The Center has already deployed 10GbE in the network core to enable physicians to rapidly access critical patient tracking information, including bandwidth-rich digital images from Picture Archival Communication Systems (PACS (Picture ArChiving System) A storage and management system for high-resolution images. Typically pertaining to the medical field, images such as X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans require a greater amount of storage than other industries. ). 10GbE is being deployed down to the wiring closets in new operating rooms, enabling real-time, video collaboration between surgeons and specialists located in different buildings. Finally, the Center is building a new research facility with 10GbE wiring closets uplinks and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to desktops, providing each researcher with high-speed communications for Genome data manipulation, modeling and imaging required in cancer research. In addition to 10GbE deployments, Memorial Sloan-Kettering has deployed Cisco wireless networking throughout its hospital for staff, patients and visitors, and is rolling out Cisco IP Telephony services. Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Cisco network supports 8500 employees, as well as thousands of patients and visitors, in 10 buildings and several outlying clinics. "We've invested in state-of-the-art networking infrastructure because the resulting ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). benefits enable us to better support our research and patient care objectives," said Elias Golfinopoulos, network director, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. "Every few seconds saved in making appointments, viewing radiology images or accessing patient records streamlines our operating efficiency and allows us to focus on cancer research and patient care." Cisco 10GbE Marketshare and Technology Leadership To help customers optimally support the growth of converged applications, Cisco enables end-to-end 10GbE Catalyst switching deployments that also deliver industry-leading integrated security, high availability, enhanced manageability, and delivery optimization services. Cisco Catalyst 10GbE switching solutions are a core technology component of Cisco's Business-Ready Campus Architecture that supports business resilience across the enterprise. The Cisco Catalyst switching portfolio can help to minimize 10GbE deployment costs by enabling incremental upgrades as needed as needed prn. See prn order. and supporting a wide range of optics. In addition to modular daughter cards that provide enhanced features and performance, support for 10GBASE-LX4 optics enables 10GbE wiring closet uplink deployment over existing FDDI-grade multimode fiber (62.5 micron) with no fiber changes required. For 10GbE metro or long-haul deployments, Cisco offers Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing ) optics, greatly expanding the bandwidth and reach for transporting a variety of Enterprise and Service Provider applications, such as remote data centers connectivity or video transport over 10GbE. In addition to product and technology leadership, industry analyst firm Dell'Oro Group's latest Ethernet Switch report named Cisco as the number one supplier of 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2/3 switches, continuing a Cisco leadership trend in 10GbE that began in 2001.
