The MPI runs applications such as safety monitoring of offshore drilling platforms, oil trading, and scheduling deliveries of natural gas efficiently and economically. Chevron originally used bridges to solve its internetworking issues, but the company turned to Cisco Systems' multiprotocol routers as network usage grew, and the need arose to move mainframe-based production and exploration applications into a distributed computing environment. Chevron's MPI now incorporates 50 Cisco routers, a number that will expand to more than 700 over the next few years, when the internetwork is fully installed.
Cisco is good at software development and responding to changes.
And its sales staff and system engineers are very, very good. If we had to do it all over again, we'd still select Cisco Systems. Their technology is outstanding. Inc. Important Notices and Privacy Statement .
