Stacy,
Why do you use investment bank surveys?
I wonder how much Goldman will get paid for the next M&A transaction they pitch to Cisco. Investment Bank surveys can be filed in the “fiction” pile.

I hear from my IT colleagues that this is a revolutionary game changing product with big cost savings opportunity…so, I’m not surprised when I hear that 1 in 5 will be testing it over next year.

Btw, doen’t Cisco call their blade servers as Unified Computing System….not Unified Communications, which is compltely different :)

Re: market penetration with just one server deployed in a data center?

How often, in data centers that rely on standardization to drive down cost and complexity,do you see people buying just ONE of anything? That’s a non-sensical point as the number of times you see that happen will be very small.
