The deal could rival Cisco's recent Unified Computing System (UCS) launch in less obvious ways. For instance, Sun has desktop virtualization technology that could help IBM better compete with VMware, a key partner in Cisco's recent news. And Sun's Crossbow virtual networking initiative could give IBM the network services needed to offer an equivalent to Cisco's server market entry.
