Cisco acknowledges that they need to beef it up. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/02/ucs_needs_a_bra/ 2) All of the labs Cisco had planned for their servers on Monday and Tuesday had to be cancelled because the equipment wasn’t working. Cisco brought in a big team and got it all going on Wednesday morning, but then it all crashed again and they had to cancel the rest of their lab sessions. So VMworld had not turned out to be the great showcase that they had planned. How terribly dissapointed CISCO and other customers of CISCO were in the showcase event of the year. Proves that CISCO + DATACENTER Server Solutions = Failure. Steve - Wow, @ Vmworld this week and UCS failed MISERABLY….
