From IOS to MCP to IOS-XE in only eight years truly is a remarkable journey. Once capable of running in a few devices and core routers, IOS-XE is bulked up like a Sumo and ready to party in a vast range of Enterprise-grade devices.

With a greatly increased product footprint and a feature set of infrastructure and APIs that customers have never dreamed of having, this Sumo is Cisco's champion in the marathon race to total market domination. All this and it is still managed in with the same familiar way customers know and love!

Forward-thinking architecture and modern tooling are sure to enable remarkable developer productivity, and we will all enjoy the fruits of these continuing efforts in accelerated release velocity.

Congratulations on Polaris!
