“I think Cisco was ahead of the game in creative and sophisticated solutions that were addressing some of tomorrow’s problems, and tomorrow is now today. So, they have had tremendous success in the market, and we have been delighted to share in that with them,” explained Spelman.

Joined by McHugh, they explained how networking, data and the cloud have convened to create entire systems for data storage and processing. These companies working together have been instrumental in the changing face of tech.
