Hewlett-Packard’s War of Words With Cisco Begins
It’s pretty amusing to watch Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) come to grips with what amounts to a Data Center Death Match. Last week, HP declined to comment for my story on Cisco’s upcoming virtualization server, which will thrust Cisco into the server market for the first time. Cisco’s move stands as a direct assault on traditional partners such as HP and IBM (IBM) and will have the company competing for the data center as a whole rather than just the networking part.
