Cisco is set to shake up the blade server market again, bundling in with their Nexus 7000 Series data center switches. They already have Linux-based blades for their Catalyst 6500 Series switches, which is in competition with other provides of blades and networking ie IBM, HP, Dell and VMware. Though it would seem this sort of consolidation will make manageability easier with compatible software and easier support, it remains to be seen if this is the correct way forward. Let’s hope customers will change their mindset as this is sort of a new business model that may just make enterprise data center simpler.
