Cisco is aggressively positioning itself as a key player in the AI boom, having secured over $10 billion in deals this fiscal year for its networking infrastructure. This surge in business is driven by the escalating demands of artificial intelligence, particularly the substantial increase in network bandwidth required by AI agents.
