Well, the point is Ray that Juniper holds about 22%-25% of the high end
market. Cisco holds 75-80% of the "entire market" . Now, if in the event
Cisco loses even 20-30% of the market over the next 3 years, they would
still have 50% of the market with a assortment of other companies holding
the other half. It is also a way for employers to gauge your level of
expertise without knowing you and justifies the hefty salary that you are
going to request. Combine this with the fact that Cisco has launched
programs for high school kids. This tells informed people that the talent
pool in the next 2-4 years will have a Cisco Centric skill set. This in turn
will make companies more inclined to use a product that the majority of the
work force already is familiar with. Now I love Juniper, but Cisco did not
get where they are without covering most of the bases.
I hope this somewhat answers your question .
