Cisco Partner Summit: McCool identifies $20 billion opportunity for Cisco in data centers

At the Cisco Partner Summit, John McCool, Cisco’s vice president and general manage of data center, switching and services group, said Cisco has expanded its potential market to about $20 billion in the data center today by introducing its blade server product line, the Unified Computing System (UCS).

In conjunction with this, Cisco will be announcing later today a new set of data center network channel programs, a set of new skill certifications for partners and an expansion to the UCS product line. I’ll keep an eye out for this and post more information about it later.
