10 Reasons Why Cisco’s Unified Computing Strategy Will Get Push Back From Customers

Cisco’s so-called “Unified Computing” strategy holds vast and arguably adverse implications, as a way to lock customers into a proprietary world while locking out vendors like HP and IBM that are trusted open systems suppliers to enterprises around the world.  For the past few months, I’ve been pointing this out through my blog and various media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Network World, and Investors Business Daily. Upon considering what’s known of Cisco’s “California” server, Unified Computing initiative and Unified Fabric architecture, I believe there are at least 10 good reasons why Cisco’s proprietary version of data center computing won’t fly.

There has been a range of reactions from different vendors about Cisco’s recent announcements about their Unified Computing strategy. Regardless of your view, having the option has to be a good thing for the end user community in terms of choice, and knowing what we can achieve with the right range of products, for competition in innovation between the vendors. Choose the right solution for your business, everything else, is just noise, if it’s Cisco that works for you, then it’s Cisco that it shall be, an interesting read though.
