This Seeking Alpha post, by investment researcher Critical Timing, implies that they did by ceding roughly one-third of the SDN market. By refusing to support NSX…Cisco and NetApp appear to be willing to risk losing a sizable share of the SDN market. Cisco and NetApp said back in June that they would not support NSX on FlexPod reference IT architectures combining Cisco compute and networking, and NetApp storage. That followed a statement from VCE in May, the coalition of Cisco and EMC building integrated and converged IT infrastructures, that it would not support NSX on its Vblock systems even though VMware invests in VCE and its hypervisors are integral to Vblocks.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE Funny videos about the iPhone 6 and Apple Watch...
