Can Anyone Challenge Cisco For Leadership in
Network Equipment?

• When it comes to network providers and data
  equipment vendors can anyone really compete with
  Cisco? The perception may be no. But the reality
  may be far different. Or at least a little muddy.

Yes, Cisco commands a whopping share of the
networking industry pie. However HP, Nortel,
Alcatel, Huwaei have of late been aggressively
eyeing this space for more of the market share.
But for anyone to truly challenge Cisco's
dominance. They have their work cut out for them.
In my opinion, Cisco just keeps smaller players
like Juniper and Foundry in the data networking
market to avoid monopoly situations. With the
largest footprint, deep market penetration and
wide open breadth of high quality product
portfolio, it has built a significant level of
durability into its competitive business strategy.

• Cisco's business can only be threatened by
  changes in consumer preferences/demand (external)
  or technological obsolescence of their current
  products (internal), both of which are hard to
  imagine due to the capital resources it spends on
  marketing research and niche acquisitions.

• Juniper is positioning themselves on many levels
  to compete with Cisco. With their newly released
  switch platform and the J series routers and the
  acquisition of Netscreen and Redline etc. Juniper
  already has competed fiercely for the core
  network space and has done marginally well with
  the ISP market. They have not cracked the
  enterprise very well, though. With their new
  product launches aimed directly at knocking Cisco
  off their perch, we may see the landscape change.
  Large corporations like to have more than one
  vendor to play off each other. Healthy
  competition forces innovation and drives price
  down.

• If Juniper can ever figure out an effective
  marketing plan and lay off the stupid cartoons
  attempting to be funny, they may have a
  legitimate shot. They did a very brilliant thing
  a couple years ago and offered free classes to
  current and potential customers to get engineers
  more familiar and comfortable with Jun OS.
  Remember OS/2 did not die because it lacked
  quality or desirable features.
