Cisco Becoming a Server Vendor?

While skimming through my pile of Network World magazines, I came across this interesting article. Apparently, Cisco is going to begin manufacturing servers, starting with one codenamed "California Server." This will tromp all over the partner relationship they have with HP and IBM...but why not? I'd buy it just for the Cisco logo.
I'm anxious to see what advantages Cisco will integrate into the server. I'm sure many sweet proprietary solutions could be had with a Cisco server integrating into a Cisco switch/router platform.
When's the Cisco laptop come out?

CCIE Voice...Let the Adventure Begin

Well, my next CCIE R&S renewal date is coming up in May, so I've decided to start my trek through the CCIE Voice. For now, I'll be focusing on the CCIE Voice Written to meet the immediate need of not allowing my CCIE to expire. Maybe I'll look at the lab exam after that... Although, I didn't have any kids when I got my CCIE R&S...this may take a little longer...

So - here's what I'm finding for CCIE Voice study (not much):

CCIE Voice Exam Quick Reference Sheets (Cisco Press)

CCIE Voice Book List (Cisco)

CCIE Voice Written Exam Blueprint (Cisco)

Cisco Design Guides...In Style!

I stumbled across this link when I was looking for CCIE Voice study information. Pretty nice way of delivering design guides while giving a visual look at some solid network builds! Those Cisco folks are such studs...
