Cisco's reorganization of its product sales reporting continues to detail the sequential quarterly sales declines of its products (Cisco had a sequential total sales decline of -$343 million, the 2nd sequential total sales decline in a row for a total decline of -$429 million), see the below chart.
Also, Cisco's Q2'FY11 other sales (which includes the sales of Cisco's optical and emerging technologies products) sequentially declined by -$20 million. Amazingly in my opinion, listen at the 7:30 time mark as the leaders of Cisco's Emerging Technologies Group bragged that Cisco had 400 different billion-dollar ideas within Cisco's open Wiki called I-Zone.
Cisco's Q2'FY11 router sales sequentially declined by -$132 million (keep in mind that the highly touted Cisco CRS-3 router appears to have recently caused network outages at both Comcast and AT&T). Tellingly, Cisco's Q2'FY11 router sales are down a whopping -$297 million from Cisco's Q2'FY08 router sales (see page 26).
Cisco's Q2'FY11 security sales sequentially declined by -$36 million (the 2nd sequential security sales decline in a row for a total decline of -$167 million, which works-out to be a stunning -32% decline from Q4'FY10).
Finally, Cisco's Q2'FY11 switch sales sequentially declined by a staggering -$400 million (the 3rd sequential switch sales decline in a row for a total decline of -$510 million. It's also noteworthy that Cisco's Q2'FY11 switch sales are down -$198 million from Cisco's Q2'FY08 switch sales (see page 26).
