"Cisco Systems, Inc. is an American multinational technology company
headquartered in San Jose, California, that designs,
manufactures and sells
networking equipment. Cisco Systems was founded in December 1984 by Leonard
Bosack, who was in charge of the Stanford University (https://www.stanford.edu)
computer science department's computers, and his wife Sandy Lerner, who managed
the Graduate School of Business' computers.
Despite founding Cisco in
1984, Bosack, along with Kirk Lougheed, continued to work at Stanford on Cisco's
first product. It consisted of exact replicas of Stanford's "Blue Box" router
and a stolen copy of the University's multiple-protocol router software. The
software was originally written some years earlier at Stanford medical school by
research engineer William Yeager. Bosack and Lougheed adapted it into what
became the foundation for Cisco IOS. On July 11, 1986, Bosack and Lougheed were
forced to resign from Stanford and the university contemplated filing criminal
complaints against Cisco and its founders for the theft of its software,
hardware designs and other intellectual properties. In 1987, Stanford licensed
the router software and two computer boards to Cisco.
The name "Cisco"
was derived from the city name, San Francisco, which is why the company's
engineers insisted on using the lower case "cisco" in its early years. The logo
is intended to depict the two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge."
