You know what Cisco needs? A server SAN strategy

is the correspondent aware that PCIe flash cards are already options for the cisco kit in its M3 form, prior to the M4 refresh.

also that in terms of interconnect, they have unified fabric, so lots of 10gig/40gig ethernet and FC in the backplane for the B-series and a similar story for the C-series.

the C24 and C240 are also ideally suited to "lots of dense disk" in a 2U format.

and in terms of vSAN software, Vmware can be purchased and loaded at build time, or bought afterwards for roll your own vSAN. its not as sexy as the new startups but its still early days and there are too many horses to back at this stage. the hardware is ready, its just time to sit back and let the software storage companies battle it out and a winner emerge.
