Fujitsu Ltd and Cisco Systems Inc have agreed to form a strategic alliance, focusing on routers and switches that will enable businesses to build advanced Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
The alliance could help Cisco defend its market dominance in Japan against inroads by Juniper Networks, which is fast gaining ground in the global market for big routers. For Fujitsu, the alliance with Cisco helps it get back into the router market, from which it announced earlier this year that it planned to quit.
Routers and switches are core elements of IP-based communications networks, or networks based on Internet telephony. Such networks channel communications via the Internet instead of over traditional telephone lines and are thus cheaper, prompting a growing flood of companies to switch.
The Fujitsu-Cisco alliance would initially focus on the Japanese market, the partners said in a joint statement. But at a subsequent news conference here, the companies said the alliance in time would focus on other Asian markets and eventually the global market.
