Cisco UCS，Blade Server? No, cloud computing

Cisco published UCS last month, and every one surprised: oh, cisco enters the server market. Really?No, cisco enters cloud computing market. Let me explain it.
First let us say how cisco describe UCS:
The Cisco Unified Computing System is the next-generation data center platform. Designed to improve IT responsiveness to rapidly changing business demands, it accelerates the delivery of new services simply, reliably, and securely, through end-to-end provisioning and migration support for both virtualized and non-virtualized systems.
The Cisco Unified Computing System delivers the next step in the Data Center 3.0 vision. It unifies network, compute, storage access, and virtualization resources in a cohesive system to:
Reduce total cost of ownership
Increase business agility
Improve productivity

Based on industry standards, the Unified Computing System is designed to:
Streamline data center resources
Scale service delivery
Radically reduce the number of devices requiring setup, management, power/cooling, and cabling

Do you see any words like Server or Blade? No! Why? Because UCS is not only a server or a blade server. It is a solution to build next generation data center. And you can see more information on the cisco wesite http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/collateral/ns340/ns517/ns224/ns944/white_paper_c11-522754.html, virtualization, scaling, dynamic provision, hypervisor optimization.

Not very clear, yes? No matter, find another paper on the cisco cloud strategy, yes, unify computing, private computing, inter-cloud. Now, you get it, cisco enter the cloud computing market, and cisco decide to do it from unify computing system.

By the way, cloud computing push compute and storage capacity to internet-access, and this need more network bandwidth, and , need more switches, routers.
