Yesterday the Cisco Live! Las Vegas show concluded and it’s been quite a week. As William Shatner brought in the hilarious yet inspiring closing keynote in the afternoon, I’m looking forward to absorbing all we have heard from customers, analysts, and the press back in San Francisco. Like space exploration, we have not yet seen or predicted all that will change with Cloud.

Staying with the theme this week, I additionally wanted to thank you for your answers to my request for more public references and emailing me with new Cisco Service Provider references built with Unified Service Delivery with Vblocks and FlexPods. Here’s a few:

• 8x8
  8x8 to Deliver Cloud Services on VCE Vblock(TM) Infrastructure
• Colt
  ITEXACT Senior Team Profile
• QTS
  Cloud Services: Deploy Exactly What You Need, and Less
• Radiant
  Radiant Delivers Cloud-Computing Services Using Cisco-VMware-NetApp Secure Multi-Tenancy Architecture
• Telefonica
  Telefonica and Cisco have the Public Operator Cloud

I will continue to update you on a regular basis with our public references and want to applaud all of our data center and cloud customers. I’m glad that Cisco is part of their journey on the pathway to Cloud.

Thank you for making Cisco Live! one of the premier technology shows and I hope to see you next year.
