Network equipment manufacturer Cisco has seen an improvement in global sales during the three months ended October 24th when compared with figures from the previous quarter.
However, the firm's net sales are down 13 per cent year-on-year at $9 billion (£5.4 billion).
Commenting on the results, chairman and chief executive officer of Cisco John Chambers said: "We view the improving economic outlook, combined with solid execution on our growth strategy, as creating unparalleled opportunity to drive more value into the core of the network."
He added that trends in collaboration, consolidation and virtualisation within the network equipment market would drive both productivity and growth at Cisco over the course of the next decade.
Despite the economic downturn, Cisco has continued to introduce new equipment into the marketplace and recently expanded its Nexus range with a new blade switch.
The company's Nexus 4000 switch fits inside standard blade server racks and can be used to eliminate the need for a two-tiered network.
