Cisco and Isovalent – a Match Made in Heaven (Infographic Sneak Preview)

Even after forty years since its inception in San Francisco by a couple of Stanford University computer scientists, Cisco remains the undisputed market leader in the networking industry.

Meanwhile, Isovalent has taken the world of cloud native networking by storm. Isovalent is behind the kernel technology eBPF and the networking platform Cilium. Cilium has been selected by the likes of Amazon, Azure and Google as the preferred networking platform for their Kubernetes offering and distribution and has seen broad adoption across the community. Donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in 2021, the open source project has over 20,000 GitHub stars and is the only Graduated project in the Cloud Native Networking category – a testimony to its stability and its uptake.
The Isovalent Platform is based on Cilium and provides cloud native networking, security and observability to various customers like Adobe, Roche, Github, IBM, Goldman Sachs, Sony, and many more.

Cisco completed the acquisition of Isovalent in April 2024, bringing together the best of networking together.
