Cisco taps Linux for agility, low cost in data center

,----[ Quote ]
| By standardizing on Linux six years ago, Cisco could buy commodity servers, 
| minimizing hardware and computing costs, and "blast through" the 
| virtualization of 3,000 servers in two years, Morgan said. As a result, 
| server utilization has grown from 20% to 68% and could go as high as 80%, he 
| said.

PostPath: Enterprise-strength open source alternative for Exchange

,----[ Quote ]
| I installed PostPath under CentOS 4.5 to test it as both a standalone
| messaging platform and along with a single Exchange 2003 server. After
| downloading the installer ./postpath-installer.bin, I installed the PostPath
| Server Daemon (the PostPath engine), PostPath Recipient Update Service (for
| use when there is no existing Exchange server), PostPath Administration, and
| PostPath Webmail.

Are Cisco and Red Hat Getting Cozy?

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft spent the 1990s ignoring and dismissing competitive threats from
| Linux. Apparently, Cisco is determined to avoid that mistake in the modern
| age of Web 2.0 and open applications.

Cisco: Networking Is Hot Again

,----[ Quote ]
| Network operating systems are also keeping the networking market hot. Cisco
| has recently expanded its operating system lineup to now include IOS, NX-OS
| and Linux. IOS is Cisco's core internetworking operating system that powers
| many of its switches and routers, while NX-OS is a purpose built OS for
| Cisco's Nexus core switching platform.
|
| As for Linux, Cisco is using the open source operating system in various
| areas including the AXP module that turns ISR routers into Linux app servers.

One Router to Rule Them All

,----[ Quote ]
| It's not that often that I get to do first-hand, on-the-scene reporting, so I
| was somewhat surprised last week to open an email from one of Cisco's PR
| reps, offering the opportunity to report an announcement of interest to the
| Linux and Open Source community. Being the curious sort, I couldn't pass up
| such an opportunity.

Cisco Reaches Out to Application Developers

,----[ Quote ]
| First, let’s review the market landscape: Cisco and Microsoft both want to
| dominate the unified communications market. To do so, they will need
| independent software vendors (ISVs) that write applications for their
| respective platforms.

| Services Router (ISR) and Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)

| have wide-ranging implications, as Cisco's gear has millions of deployments
| that now can be leveraged to serve applications directly.
