Timing could be right here and I am not surprised to hear they are in the loop. We need another 'Tier-1' entrant to the HPC space - its poorly served as it is. A HP takeover would shrink the choice even more. A takeover Cisco get therefore gets my backing.

This post is just about who _else_ might be in the hunt.

I thought they were on tap to buy SGI? Well, of the list of companies I think Cisco might well go all in on this one. With their new California product they might be looking for some serious SMP technology - would give them a leg up in that respect. Jeff What happened to the Rackable deal?
