  • If finalized, PostPath would become Cisco’s fifteenth acquisition in less than two years and its eleventh software application and services company.
  • Cisco has bought its way into many application software-dominated markets, including cloud computing, social networking, collaboration, and now email.
  • With cloud computing and social networking blurring the lines between networking hardware, application software, and services, many other traditional IT equipment companies have moved into the software application business.
  • According to analyst, the emergence of cloud computing is changing the economics of networking hardware and software markets

    Kevin,

    There is more than them simply hosting cloud services…they aim to revolutionize how cloud platforms are built. If you haven’t read much about the Nexus platform, check out my post on the subject.

    I’m not a cheerleader for Cisco, but I agree that people are seriously underestimating their future effect on the cloud market, both as a service provider and an infrastructure provider.

    You’re absolutely right. You should also add Cisco’s collaboration with VMware to the mix.
