Cisco doesnt even show up on the IDC server tracker, they are lumped in with "other". it is interesting that you see vendors like sun, hitachi, powerleader, fujitsu-siemens, Group Bull, NEC... who ship hundreds to a few of thousand blades per quarter specifically called out, but not cisco. would think with all the noise about them in the market that they would at least show up in IDC report. note the whole "other" category is less than 6000 blades/quarter (and that has remained pretty constant for years- so no major spike in that category since cisco came to market).<br>Dell is now over 11% share, so we grew share quarter on quarter. Kevin,
