Chambers, over the years not only made Cisco a homegrown name in networking equipments but sketched the company's transition towards the new software enabled networking world, offering enterprises new ways to connect and harness the computing power. According to the market analyst Gartner, Cisco is currently the clear leader in selling network equipment to companies, controlling about half of the $38 billion global market. However, in wake of enterprises outsourcing their networking needs to the cloud than buying hefty networking equipments, Chambers, embarked on Internet of Everything initiative, for a world where billions of sensors, phones and machines can be stitched together by Cisco and its clients. Cisco is now trying to branch out from its core network-equipment business into software, security, and data centers to capitalize on the growing remote computing trend. Highlighting such a trend, in what might be his last Cisco Live conference as the CEO, Chambers stressed the importance of transforming businesses to the digital realm and getting ready for the next generation of the internet. Cisco itself is in the midst of this transition--reinventing itself with a speed and architectural approach in the fields of Cloud, IoE, SDN, and Mobility to retain its grip on continual success. Though the future of networking is still vague, nevertheless it will be defined by software, and it is the time for the market watchers to see how the successor, Chuck Robbins, a 17-year Cisco veteran help the company's transition towards it.
