Of the top of my head I would think it means Apple has suddenly acquired a huge chunk of corporate clients for hardware sales and Cisco has suddenly acquired a huge chunk of clients for mobile/hardware sales. Win + Win = Makes perfect sense. Apple isn't known for sharing though and Cisco is well established without Apple so it may get interesting.

Google is getting aggressive in going after Microsoft in the office and cloud markets. Apple pretty much guaranteed that they are also a huge player simply because Cisco is already a dominate force in corporate networking.
