Jabber Acquisition Highlights Cisco Shortfalls in UC

UC without effective presence and IM is like telephony without dial-tone.

So here we have Cisco spending your contributions (remember the Cisco Energy Tax) to acquire Jabber to give them IM for their un-unified UC story. Does this result in a 41st server to deliver UC?

UC has to unify both the end user experience AND the underlying infrastructure, and I don't see Jabber moving Cisco towards the latter objective.

Like Microsoft doesn't use alot of servers for their "UC" solution? Cisco is a cakewalk compared to other products.

TonyRyb responds: Server count is one dimension. Managing multiple systems is another. Both contribute to TCO.

You think a Jabber acquisition is a bad move? Interesting.

Explain to me Nortel's alternative for what Jabber delivers.
