Cisco CTO Padmasree Warrior: "We're going to compete with HP. I don't want to sugarcoat that."Looks like Cisco wants to do to data centers what Apple did to cellphones with its iPhone.
In this tight economy it is but natural that once partners will elbow into each other's space. But that is the cynical view to take. This is a story in innovation. As to how it will play out, we will have to wait and watch.
Tech companies like Amazon and Oracle have swam upstream in this dire economy. And now Cisco has come up with a major announcement. This will boost the morale of the larger economy. Otherwise it feels like there is bad news on every page of the newspaper.

- Equal the energy output of more than 15 U.S. coal-fired electric plants and 35 million tons of C02.
- Almost equal the entire amount of wind energy produced in U.S.
