Phenomenal opportunity in India: Cisco’s Rensburg

Melbourne: Cisco sees a ‘phenomenal opportunity’ in India and is seeing significant traction across sectors with manufacturing emerging as a key vertical, the company’s vice president, networking and solutions engineering, APJC, Raymond Janse van Rensburg told ET.

“Manufacturing is a massive opportunity and we saw that in India,” he said. “They (manufacturing companies) see the opportunity of running inferencing on the factory floor, in the different locations, as close as possible to the edge, because it helps them with latency. A lot of them are (also) very sensitive with regard to intellectual property, so they don’t want that stuff going back into public cloud. They want to keep it local and have full control over that.”
