    A few more details from Cisco's (CSCO) FQ1 call: Analysts were surprised by Cisco's light FQ2 gross margin guidance, in light of FQ1's margin strength. Cisco attributed the guidance to a mix shift and noted its UCS server line, which carries relatively low margins, is growing rapidly. John Chambers claimed Cisco is competing better with Huawei (still a concern for many) than it was 12-18 months ago. He reaffirmed Cisco's strained partnership with EMC/VMware, but added Cisco plans to form closer ties with EMC rivals such as NetApp, Red Hat, and Microsoft.
