With Storage Growing, Cisco Aims for China
Posted by James Rogers on November 8, 2007
Cisco, buoyed by strong first-quarter performance from its storage business, is preparing an assault on the burgeoning Chinese market.
In its first-quarter fiscal 2008 results last night, Cisco reported revenues of $9.6 billion, up 16.7 percent on the same quarter last year, just beating analyst estimates of $9.54 billion.
Cisco's Advanced Technologies group, which includes its storage offerings, accounted for $2.4 billion of first-quarter revenues, a hike of 27 percent on the same period last year.
On a GAAP basis, Cisco reported earnings per share of 35 cents on net income of $2.2 billion, up from 26 cents and $1.6 billion in the first quarter of last year.
