The first box kind of ships only after 6 months. Testing is going on I
believe. What i think the OS is based on Linux, but as usual should have
"Cisco CLI" It is definitely not a replacement to 6500, since 6500 does a
lot of service module stuff too and the box is very flexible and proven.
This is primarily for consolidating SAN and LAN visualization. I think 1GE
is what most servers i mean at least 80% of servers use so there is
sometime before this gets adopted to 10GB and more like 40GB. Probably SAN
side more helpful. But Cisco I think announced this probably to offset
Juniper's announcement. After all Juniper pulled off something like IBM
partnership's. They called it CAT 6K killer, but I guess thats to much to
compare it with, when you think 6500 is the most successful product ever in
any company's history 20 billion dollar business from this box is amazing.
75K u might get the bare minimum...Can't be that cheap.
