Cisco UCS Announcements

I’ve been seeing lots of announcements regarding Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) across the Internet. Here are just a few:

Cisco unveils its virtualization-friendly blade platform Unified Computing System
Cisco and VMware teaming up: Unified Computing System
Cisco Announces Unified Computing System
Cisco Brothers/Sisters congratulations!
Cisco: Unified Computing is an ‘Inflection Point’
Cisco’s Unified Computing System – A Whole New Ballgame
Cisco Enters the Virtual Server Hardware Market – Gestalt IT

I’ve been under strict NDA, as have many others, regarding what was formerly called “Project California,” since early December. Even though the NDA is now lifted and I could speak about UCS in more detail, I’m going to reserve the bulk of my comments after the conclusion of Cisco’s live webcast at 10:30AM Pacific Time (1:30PM Eastern Time).
