So last night while working on a Scalable Compute and storage design for a client, this post popped up in my twitter stream from @ErinatHP;
New HP blog post “In the light of day the Cisco UCS hype doesnt match the promise” ; UCS not all its marketed to be http://bit.ly/dKj88W
So in my normal do not let a stupid dig by a lame duck player go unmatched I responded Oh I can’t wait to read this FUD (you can check me out on twitter @joshobrien77)
All the twitter marketing and pissing matches aside I meant what I said and I did look forward to reading the HP Spin on where their market is vanishing to. And here are my responses, while they might not be the most technical they are not un-informed from the basis of the Cisco UCS platform or the HP C7000 with FLEX-10 Platform. And remember at the end of the day I represent me not Cisco not my employer, just little old me.
Also just so if this gets nasty I want to make sure that I am crediting this correctly:
All of the HP Writes: Are direct Quotes from Duncan Campbel with HP on his blog which you can find here: http://h30507.www3.hp.com/t5/Converged-Infrastructure/In-the-light-of-day-the-Cisco-UCS-hype-doesn-t-match-the-promise/ba-p/83537
PLEASE READ ALL of Duncans Post BEFORE you READ Mine. I DO NOT PRETEND to REPRESENT HIS SIDE WELL AT ALL!
