Networks as the backbone of digitalization
Cisco continues to see itself as the "plumber of the Internet". With over 30 billion endpoints worldwide, the complexity is constantly growing. Attacks on critical infrastructures or industrial plants illustrate how important a "well-trained master company" is for secure networks. For IT specialists and career changers, this shows why a Cisco training in network administration & IT security offers sustainable career prospects.
AI as a driver for new dimensions
The increasing importance of artificial intelligence is massively changing requirements. Cisco's state-of-the-art switches can network up to 32,000 graphics processors - a basis for the next generation of AI applications. Like the iPhone, which once revolutionized the multimedia sector, Peter sees AI as the next big change.
Conclusion
Cisco remains one of the key players when it comes to shaping the digital infrastructure in Germany and worldwide. Whether through chips, software solutions or AI-optimized networks - the company is playing a decisive role in shaping the future of the internet.
