Ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us here for Day 2 of Citi’s Global Technology Conference where we have over 175 technology companies, as well as well over thousand investors. We’re very excited today to start the day off with CISCO. Sitting here with me on the stage here is Sachin Gupta. He is Vice President of Enterprise Networking. Importantly, enterprise networking, remember that so when you think about your questions, let’s try to take advantage of his skill set and his expertise in enterprise networking. The format of this is going to be an interactive fireside chat with me and Sachin up here talking about a few overall big pictures, and then we’ll turn it over to investors and audience for questions.

This is being webcast. And if you are on the webcast and you have any questions, please go ahead and e-mail myself [e-mail] and I will be happy to ask it on your behalf without disclosing your name, as well as if you are in the audience and you’re a little bit shy. We do ask if you are in audience and you want to ask your question, please raise your hand and we’ll get the microphone over to you right away.

The prepared comments and Q&A we have will be about 10 minutes of the entire 40 minute discussion. But before we kick things off, I know Sachin wanted to mention something, and then we will go ahead and kick off the fireside chat. Sachin?
