Technology isn't necessarily heading in that direction - Cisco is
driving it there. Bottom line is this: Cisco is traditionally a router
and switch manufacturer, and no one buys routers and switches these
days, at least not enough to provide continued growth for Cisco.
Company infrastructures are already built, have been for years, and are
running for the most part nowhere near capacity. These technology
applications, besides generating hardware sales directly, will also
increase bandwidth consumption, thereby causing indirect hardware sales
when customers upgrade their routers and switches to support the new
bandwidth-hungry apps like VoIP. If Cisco can drive the customers'
purchases in that direction, they win.
My two cents.

Hello Group,
Has anyone checked out the Cisco ExecNet, which is basically thoughts
about where technology is heading in the future from the VPs at Cisco.
http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/tln/execnet/
From what they are saying (specifically Mike Volpi), the direction for
technology is heading towards: CDN, Security, Wireless, IP Telephony,
VPN. Reegineering business processes to best utilise these technologies
in order to improve productivity and reduce cost for enterprises.
Does anyone have any comments about this, and where money will be spent
in the future for technologies?
Regards,
Albert Lu
