Clash of the Titans...

HP against Cisco, Cisco against the server folks, IBM against Cisco, Apple against Google, Google against the phone folks...

Just read an article that Cisco is putting additional modules in its Router racks and loading software to make the routers do more server functions- trying to make a dent in the server space. Cisco has access to top level execs so its story will get heard. Whether IT folks look at cost reduction and implement this approach remains to be seen. Cisco certainly works on lowering the economics of the business for customers, so its router-as-server story should be taken seriously.
