Cisco (CSCO) is launching a new line of products to serve big corporate data centers. According to The Wall Street Journal "the networking giant says its Nexus Series of products will address problems that have arisen in corporate data centers, which house communication and computing equipment."
Large data centers run so much software on so many servers that often significant amounts of capacity go unused. Cisco means to address that problem.
Cisco’s plan may be a headache for Sun Microsystems (JAVA) which already makes a large portion of its money from supplying solutions similar to Cisco’s. Of course, Cisco is growing rapidly and has a multitude of resources. Sun’s revenue is moving up in the low single digits and it is operating to save itself from obscurity.
Who wins that race?
