During fiscal 2014, we added a new platform in our high-end routers known as the Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS),
and we also made several enhancements to our existing platforms such as the CRS-X product line, through our architectural
approach, which consists of a programmable network at the foundation and a services platform that connects the network to
applications and services. During fiscal 2015, we continued to enhance our routing portfolio, including products pertaining to
service provider routing. We aligned our resources around the service provider routing customer market in order to develop
solutions focused on the business outcomes and needs of our customers. In fiscal 2015, we started executing on the market
transition to the 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE) data transfer standard as we continued to deploy products within each of our CRS,
NCS and ASR 9000 routing portfolios. We also launched the XRv-9000, which brings the maturity and breadth of the Cisco
IOS-XR Software operating system to the SDN/NFV virtual world. These solutions are examples of our intent to continue to
combine ASICs, systems, and software to develop NGN Routing products and services aligned with the needs of our customers.
Collaboration
Our Collaboration portfolio integrates voice, video, data, and mobile applications on fixed and mobile networks across a wide
range of devices and related IT equipment such as mobile phones, tablets, desktop and laptop computers, and desktop
virtualization clients—sometimes collectively referred to as “endpoints”—that people use to access networks. Within our various
Collaboration offerings, we strive to create compelling, innovative collaboration technology through the combined power of
software, hardware, and the network with delivery in the cloud, on premises, or in a hybrid solution.
Key product areas within our Collaboration category are as follows:
Unified Communications Conferencing Cisco TelePresence Systems Enterprise Mobile Messaging
• IP phones • Cisco WebEx Meeting
Center
• Collaboration desk
endpoints
• Cisco Spark
• Call control • Cisco Collaboration
Meeting Rooms

Conductor
We include all of our revenue from WebEx within the Collaboration product category. During fiscal 2015, we expanded our
Collaboration offerings to incorporate a new product category called Enterprise Mobile Messaging with the launch of the Cisco
Spark cloud-based service including a downloadable application, or “app.” Additionally, we expanded our conferencing category
with the addition of our Collaboration Meeting Rooms solution, which strives to bring high-quality web, video, and audio
conferencing together in a single application that can be delivered in the cloud, on premises, or as a hybrid solution. We
continued to innovate in Cisco TelePresence Systems, with the introduction of the MX800 Dual and the IX5000, the industry’s
first three-screen room system to support the H.265 standard. Finally, we extended our Business Edition portfolio of packaged
unified communications solutions at both the low end with the BE6000S and at the high end with the BE7000H.
