I was watching one of my financial shows (Kudlow & Company) and they mentioned CISCO plans to enter the datacenter/blade server market. What's next for them? I want a CISCO microwave oven. :D

    It isn't that much of a step for Cisco. They've already got manufacturing facilities for high end electronics and they already make rackmount servers. The ASA boxes and MCS servers are all x86 based.

    They're already making blade server switch modules for the Dell blades, and are currently collaborating with VMWare, so I guess this isn't that much of a stretch
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
