Cisco Serving Up Open Source?
Most folks are focusing on Cisco Systems’ (CSCO) consumer electronics push this week. But I’m keeping one eye on the data center — where Cisco apparently is preparing to launch blade servers. If true, I wonder: How soon will Cisco speed dial Red Hat (RHT), MySQL, Novell (NOVL), SugarCRM and other open source application providers?
Sure, Cisco already has relationships with a range of software companies. But pushing into the fast-growing blade server market will force Cisco to strengthen partnerships with operating system vendors, application providers, middleware developers and so on.
