Cisco's advantages and challenges. Comparisons to Juniper, ProCurve, Brocade.

August 5, 2009

Analysis of:Cisco’s Sales Will Drop as Much as 17%, Chambers Says | www.bloomberg.com

Cisco's strengths and challenges for their first fiscal quarter and beyond can be further defined when we compare them to their competition.  Juniper, HP ProCurve, Avaya, Brocade (Foundry), Nortel, 3COM are vendors that can help us define and understand Cisco. Cisco's success may very well be due to the weakness of their competition versus the strengths of Cisco.  In addition, with $30 plus billion of cash they are better positioned than most.

What's Hot about VMWare version 4

April 27, 2009

Analysis of:VMware unveils its cloud OS; Wants to be a bridge for the enterprise | blogs.zdnet.com

The best new feature of VMware v4.0 (dubbed vShphere) is the inclusion of "FT" - Fault Tolerance.  Essentially, if a primary server fails, the 2nd "Shadow" server will seamlessly assume the role of the primary server.  This means - zero - downtime. There are certain caveats, such as shared storage is required and a high speed link between the 2 servers is assumed, but IF you need true fault tolerance, this is a great idea.

January 19, 2009

Analysis of:In a down economy, SaaS revenues rise | www.computerworld.com

SaaS represents "hard" cost savings to most businesses.  This is particularly true in small to medium organizations where IT management/spending conflicts with the ability to focus on primary business operations.

Where is IT spending heading in 2009

December 8, 2008

Analysis of:How much data centers really cost | www.networkworld.com

What technology will businesses purchase in 2009?   Most people and firms are concerned about technology spending slowdowns based on current macroeconimic trends. Surveys and comments all suggest a slowdown at best, or a major stop at worst.  So if businesses will invest next year, the ROI (return on investment) MUST be faster and more assured than ever.

All things evolve, including technology

August 11, 2008

Analysis of:Cloud Computing: Anything as a Service | www.cioinsight.com

Cloud computing will increase productivity, reduce technology burdens, and improve cash flows as monthly subscriptions/utility services.  While we are at the forefront of a new technology generation, SaaS/cloud computing will evolve and as it does, client installed software, locally stored data and the burdens associated with them will go the way of the dodo.

April 11, 2008

Analysis of:Cisco Signals Trouble Ahead | money.cnn.com

1) Due diligence is expected and the news of tightening belts was predicted. 2) In the last quarter we have found all verticals are experiencing some level of conservative spending. 3) However, we have also seen increased spending with some vendors and/or specific vendor products and solutions.  There are profits to be made during these next few quarters.

WAN Optimization Not A Luxury Technology

March 31, 2008

Analysis of:Riverbed Shares Jump on Upbeat Note | biz.yahoo.com

WAN optimization may not be considered a luxury when customers have no choice but to add it to their infrastructure when bandwidth options are limited and response times have eroded.  Adding more bandwidth or server power does not solve all latency and performance issues, and optimization becomes the logical pursuit. A great deal of the novelty of the technology has faded as it has become much more familiar technology to IT professionals.
