GS surveys CIOs asking who are their most strategic vendors. 1. Microsoft 2. Cisco 3. Amazon 4. IBM 5. Oracle Thoughts? Honestly Iβm a bit surprised Cisco is projected to have the same staying power as Amazon and Microsoft. I guess the network will not be commoditized as rapidly as storage, servers, and PCs...
That doesn't make sense. Is there anything that Cisco can do that a dozen cheaper, more nimble companies can't do better? Ibm is a little surprising too.
I would suspect for enterprises its more about post-sale support and roadmap certainty than pure features
