Apple iPad strong, driven by the industry a lot of manufacturers, such as PC vendors (such as HP, Dell), smart mobile phone manufacturers (such as Nokia, RIM) have pledged to release its own tablet. As a PC and smart phone manufacturers to follow suit publish the so-called tablet PCs in the industry should be very easy to understand, after all, is the first Tablet PC from PC makers, Apple is a smart phone makers themselves, but recently, as the positioning in the enterprise communications market, Cisco announced also post your own The Tablet PC does have some Cius beyond the author's expectations. I believe that most people and I feel the same. Does Cisco have to compete with Apple's iPad tablet compete with it? But Cisco is a very wise people, and its CEO John b Chambers (John Chambers), said, Cius Tablet PC for the corporate market, not with Apple iPad tablet PC and the Amazon Kindle electronic reader competing consumer market. but that really think that if Chambers development? Cius Cisco's Chambers said just because the positioning of Apple iPad can escape the spell of success you?
from the reports point of view, Cisco Cius Tablet PC is used in Google's Android system, integrated front and rear camera, 7 inch display, and supports access to WiFi networks and mobile networks. through external expansion, Cius will also support mobile phones and walkie-talkie functions. the cost of basic in 1000 dollars. just from the hardware configuration, see Cisco and Apple's iPad Cius What are the differences, perhaps as Chambers says, Cius emphasize video collaboration features, such features will drive the market demand for routers and switches, so as to enhance Cisco's core business income. but after thinking I did not come up with Cisco routers and switches Cius business linkages. Could it be bound to sell to Cisco's enterprise customers? If a bind, then who is bound to whom? no matter who Who is bound, it seems difficult to have a plausible logic.
may have claimed that Cisco has told people in the Cius built their own video conferencing applications, is it net true? everyone knows, Cisco Enterprise telepresence system-level prices ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, although the Cisco video communications company through the acquisition of TANDBERG TANDBERG which has been a powerful suite of personal systems, but the price should be in the hundreds of dollars, and their newly Home Edition release of the so-called telepresence systems are basically the same price. can be followed by the question, since the positioning in the enterprise applications, it should not be pre-installed home or consumer-level applications, to an easily tens of thousands Application of sales lies in the Cius the sales reality? In fact, this let the problem back to the Cius itself, that is the reason why Cisco released Cius, no matter what the market and what positioning applications, Cisco is expected to at least the hardware in the form Tablet PC to sell and promote their own applications (such as telepresence). Perhaps here, Cisco will continue to emphasize their Cius position in the business market, but it still will inevitably encounter the blocking Apple iPad. because the latest statistics show that Apple's iPad has been favored by the business market drew much. For example Citrix customers of its IT to a survey, 80% of the enterprises plan to purchase iPad, and more companies said, will support staff to use iPad. Coincidentally, Citrix is precisely this Cisco released Cius second application terminal as a virtual partner (the other two are Wyse, VMware, virtualization applications are engaged in the business). I mean here is that the strength in Apple iPad, the future there will be many commercial software companies to come and Apple cooperation, and the development of business applications based on iPad, it is likely to Cisco Cius commercial orientation no longer looks so unique. that is in the commercial field, Cisco and Apple Cius it is difficult to avoid The iPad face competition for the corporate market.
other is Apple's iPad now has a 10,000 kinds of applications, being sure that there are many commercial applications, then the future, once favored by enterprise users iPad, business application software developer must will open the floodgates will not say what video conference system application, the main business collaboration applications will be applied to the iPad platform. this time the selling point of Cisco's Cius where? went to the Competition is nothing more than the price of hardware and time, where the first do not say Apple's iPad hardware itself and Cisco Cius one is better, just from the current price of view, the cost of Cisco Cius close to $ 1,000, far higher than the current price of Apple iPad. In time even the enterprise-level Users will choose who? Perhaps the answer is self-evident.
addition to Apple's iPad, Cisco Cius PC makers also face the threat of release of the Tablet PC. After all, PC manufacturers release tablet PC prices are cheaper than Cisco's Cius a lot. For example, Dell's Tablet PC some time ago Streak, also $ 500 price, even so, the industry also believe that this price is too high, not to mention the cost as high as $ 1,000 to Cisco Cius. of course, there are PC makers into notebook exists, they can also run well, such as video conferencing Cisco applications, and the price is much cheaper. In this regard, Cisco enterprise, business and small business groups, senior vice president Tony b Bates (Tony Bates) interpretation is unable to provide the traditional notebook Cisco TelePresence system is currently promoted through the ? Even so, even so, the experience of Cisco's Cius Apple iPad will be able to exceed it? author here is not to belittle the ability of Cisco, the so-called industry specializing in surgery, Cisco's advantage is in the enterprise communications market, and Apple exactly is the focus and provide the best user experience is known.
by the above analysis, I believe that Cisco released its own Cius Tablet PC's ultimate goal is to promote their own applications (such as video telepresence system), but Based on these applications is to enable Cisco's Cius Tablet PC in the form of lost irreplaceable, may be that the positioning of Cisco enterprise-class business applications was the archetype of the collaboration, avoiding direct competition with Apple iPad, but in fact it has fallen into as the representative of the Apple iPad tablet PCs into the Red Sea, in addition, PC makers also face competition in the notebook product form. Based on this, the future of Cisco Cius I can not jump to conclusions, but Cisco CEO John Chambers deliberately avoided and Apple iPad market positioning perspective, the taste is not very strong fighting mood before, perhaps in the Chambers deep down, he may think that no matter how Cisco Cius so it is hard to escape competition with Apple iPad spells. If this is true, the money Perth really need to look at the need for Cisco released a Tablet PC so.
