Comments on: Cisco: 'We're going to compete with HP'

The expected launch Monday of servers from Cisco will be notable because of its partners--including EMC and Microsoft--as well as the product details.

interesting partners, BMC for management & EMC for storage in particular, not sure about the other two though

Did you miss the part about the 'servers'?

Cisco printers? YES!!!!(evil grin)
Cisco computers? Nooo!!!!!
I do not like ho computers and I know right away I will not like a Cisco computer unless it truly outshies HP 3 fold.

I have more and more corporations and other organizations slowly move away from the lock in and ridiculous pricing of Cisco. I doubt this would bring them back for more abuse.

Where are the numbers around decreased TCO? I have yet to find one example of this in the Cisco launch materials. Heck, this is even introducing a 'proprietary ethernet' protocol. Dont bet your job on this yet. But it will make things interesting....
