Cisco's networking solutions connect people, computing devices and computer networks, allowing people to access or transfer information without regard to differences in time, place or type of computer system. The broader the range of network services, the more capabilities a network can provide to users connected to it. Cisco is unique in its ability to provide all these elements, either by itself or together with partners. Cisco sells its products in approximately 115 countries through a direct sales force, distributors, value-added resellers and system integrators. Currently, Cisco has approximately 16,000 employees worldwide, with about 7,800 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
