Cisco did not acquire a company for the first seven years of its existence, but on September 24, 1993, Cisco acquired Crescendo Communications, a LAN switching company. Since then, acquisitions have constituted 50% of the company. The company's largest acquisition as of April 2008 is the purchase of Scientific-Atlanta, a manufacturer of cable television, telecommunications, and broadband equipment, for US$6.9 billion. The majority of companies acquired by Cisco are based in the United States. A total of 149 companies have been acquired as of March 2011. Most of the acquired companies are related to computer networking, including several LAN switching and Voice over Internet Protocol companies.

Famous quotes containing the words systems, class and/or data:
“We have done scant justice to the reasonableness of cannibalism. There are in fact so many and such excellent motives possible to it that mankind has never been able to fit all of them into one universal scheme, and has accordingly contrived various diverse and contradictory systems the better to display its virtues.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“There is a struggle between the Oriental and the Occidental in every nation; some who would be forever contemplating the sun, and some who are hastening toward the sunset. The former class says to the latter, When you have reached the sunset, you will be no nearer to the sun. To which the latter replies, But we so prolong the day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
