Cisco is expected to make much bigger and more dramatic moves into software in 2008 as it fleshes out its strategy to make the network the key enabling platform for all IT operations.
Unified communications, collaboration, Web 2.0 and data center virtualization will continue to drive the company’s momentum in the new year as Cisco seeks to add more software and service capabilities to network infrastructure that heretofore have resided on high-end computers, servers, storage devices, PCs and special-purpose computing applications. To that end, Cisco will compete more heavily with entrenched IT systems vendors and partners such as IBM, Microsoft, HP and EMC.
