The movement toward blade servers in the enterprise data center has been growing steadily for some time, backed by manufacturers like IBM and HP. But expect to soon see networking giant Cisco Systems enter this market as well, setting themselves up for a tense battle with blade server manufacturers for control of the enterprise data center.

Check out this great post talking about the chance of Cisco developing it’s own blade platform. It’s an interesting idea and I can certainly see where it would fit within Cisco’s data center 3.0 innovation. It would depend on a number of things, where it perceives revenue generation or market share, how a Cisco blade might fit within the Cisco family of products.

It could be something of interest for those proprietary network solutions, the one where I buy a carrier grade server, why not have a Cisco blade solution with the relevant networking equipment functionality built in for VOIP etc? We’ll have to see do check out the article, its an interesting read.
