I don’t normally agree with Steve’s viewpoints or his ideas or his general tone.   The right for him to post his thoughts is important as getting bullied affects all of us.   We as bloggers and independent thinkers do have a right to talk about things that are not company confidential or business sensitive information.  There is quite an outpouring of support from the Web & Twitter for Stevie.

Thankfully Cisco’s very supportive Social Media policy did come into play here and since Steve only mostly insulted the intelligence of the Gartner analyst, a fairly easy target, he has come back online.  His managers and other’s in Cisco’s corporate office have been supportive.   Thankfully Cisco does have some good people there.

So Steve, When are you putting that post back up?

Cisco has come out with a single stop full solution rack for CPU, Disk & Network in one using all the best of virtualization technology of Storage, Server & Networking.   Tight VMware integration, all Cisco hardware & lots of virtualization technology at 10G.

Over the past several years I’ve kinda figured that Cisco has lost their way.  Floundering a bit.  Now I know someone at Cisco has a brain.   VMware has blazed the path in recent history into the Enterprise Datacenter.  The gotcha  has been trying to integrate with networking and storage.   This is in theory resolved by this solution of a fully integrated delivered product line.

So how does HP & IBM & Dell correspond with this?
