Comstor was in full force at Cisco Partner Summit in Vancouver end of Oct 2026. With executive presence at CEO roundtables to panel participation and many business and technical meetings, Comstor has played in key role in shaping Cisco’s channel development with partners at the heart.
Cisco continues to be best in class in the choice of technology for organisations in the incredibly dynamic AI era. The strategic relationships with Mythos and Nvidia as well as choices on silicon and development of technology such as Cisco IQ, Cloud Control, Live Protect etc., has seen Cisco acknowledged as ‘the critical infrastructure for the AI era’.
