May 12, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The world's largest networking hardware builder, Cisco (cisco.net) reported on Monday that the head of its data center division was leaving after 15 years with the company.

Jayshree Ullal, who first joined the company with its acquisition of Crescendo Communications in 1993, said in a posting to the company's blog that she would be leaving.

Ullal is the third top executive to leave the company in just over a year. In December, chief development officer Charles Giancarlo left the company to join private equity firm Silver Lake. And senior vice president Mike Volpi left to become CEO of Internet television company Joost in February 2007. Ullal's post didn't say what she intends to do after leaving Cisco.

"With mixed feelings and much introspection I have come to my decision to leave Cisco after 15 great and memorable years. My loyalty and affection to Cisco, CEO John Chambers and my teams made this a very difficult and lengthy decision process," said the blog post. "However, I am confident that I am passing the baton to some of the best engineering talent and general managers in the industry."

John McCool, senior vice president of the Internet systems business unit, and one of Ullal's deputies, will reportedly take over her position.
