Another vendor in love with the cloud

Thoughts? or afterthought?

Every major vendor is investing in cloud, so it only stands to reason that CISCO will want to be part of it. Who will become the real dominate cloud providers remains to be seen.

Of course there are many types of "cloud" services that ca be provided, from simple storage to complete data-center including full networking and security services. So it will be interesting to see the areas that CISCO want to focus on. From this it looks like the infrastructure is what they are after, but I am sure they will have a look at it all.
