en Cisco introduces its latest product on Wednesday, a tool for monitoring how employees use third-party software, it aims to bolster its offerings in the cloud, meaning internet-delivered services. It also has information technology specialists like Robert Florescu in mind.
The head of information technology at New York City-area urgent-care provider CityMD, Florescu must deal with complicated regulations around the privacy of patient data, on top of network security.
That made him a perfect candidate for Cloud Consumption as a Service, which Cisco is launching as a way to help companies manage software employees might download and use independently, for example email programmes like Google's Gmail or file-storage services like Dropbox.
Offering its cloud consumption service, which Cisco plans to bill monthly at a cost of $1-2 per employee, will help Cisco expand its offerings in the fast-growing business area of cloud services.
While switching and routing products make up the bulk of Cisco's revenue, those businesses show lackluster growth. Increasing numbers of customers who once bought all their own switching and routing hardware now are relying on outside vendors who do not tend to use as many Cisco products.
