Cisco Systems' Next Move: Managed Services [View article]
Hi Joe,
Cisco's expansion into managed video surveillance, even using the ISRs, is unlikely to be attractive for three reasons.
1. Video surveillance in an ISR is very uncompetitive (50-100% higher prices and lower features) to existing video surveillance offerings: ipvideomarket.info/rep... 2. Managed video surveillance demands large amounts of upstream bandwidth that is infeasible for 90% of business: ipvideomarket.info/rep... 3. Running a manged video surveillance offering requires developing software and services to run the solution. Let's assume the decide to launch this in 2009. It will still take time and further releases to mature it. Beyond that, you have issues 1 and 2 above.
I enjoyed your article. Thanks for alerting us to this.
