Huh?

OSI? What does TCP/IP have to do with servers? This will fail. SAN is still cheaper, and provides more functionality. I can still buy a 48 gig server, SAN storage, and switching for less with more functionality. Features like replication, cloning, snapshots, WORM locking, and on the fly sizing of volumes cant be trivialized. If you can't do that stuff, you cant use all your storage. I appreciate what they are trying, but unless they buy EMC or Netapp, this wont work for really big businesses. EMC is a partner, do you think they would work with CISCO if they thought they could compete in SAN? It took storage vendors YEARS to get their products where they are. CISCO is not going to reinvent storage overnight.
BTW. Unisys is almost out of business. Check their stock price.
I doubt they wil be working with anyone soon.

If Cisco has developed a server that cuts layer out of the OSI. They will take over the market. This would be great. The technology service industry is really bad right now. If Cisco is able to link up with a global service provider like Unisys, they have a very good chance at taking over the Server market.
