Fred@6: The original blog entry comes from mid-2009. But the HP-Cisco feud continues fast and furious. Are you an HP partner? Customer? Tell The VAR Guy more…

Well what all of this means is that Cisco is very afraid of competing head to head with HP. The new products added with the 3COM acquisition will suverely impact the sales of similar Cisco products especially with almost twice the performance, and 2/3 power usage and a lot less power consumed. Maybe this is why Cisco is starting to throw the FUD out hard and fast.

Johanna: Sorry. All fixed. The VAR Guy must have had baseball on his mind…

1. Scott Proctor is a pitcher for the Florida Marlins
2. Don Proctor pitches software for Cisco.

Kidding aside, The VAR Guy apologizes for the error.

Hi VAR GUY,

Quick correction, the executive you mention speaking at the keynote on June 3rd was Don Proctor, rather than Scott.

Thanks,

Johanna

Update: Cisco Executive VP tells Partner Summit attendees that Cisco will punch back against HP ProCurve and other competitive claims, but Cisco will try to do show why showing a bit of class.

Our team couldn’t make it to Boston for the conference but we’re enjoying the play by play commentary. I used to speak with Robbins directly when he was Cisco’s US channel chief and the quotes in your blog sound a lot like the Chuck I know.
