According to the SearchDataCenter.com article, Cisco UCS grabs mega market share, inspires more converged infrastructure products -

Cisco fired the first shot, but now everybody is jumping to the fight for your data center dollars. Some IT managers are calling these converged systems the new mainframes. They comprise servers, storage, networking, operating systems, hypervisor, management tools and middleware all pre-integrated, and each layer of the stack is optimized with the vendor’s secret sauce. Examples include the Cisco UCS, Oracle’s Exadata and Exalogic machines, HP’s Bladesystem Matrix and VCE’s vBlock. These machines can put up impressive performance numbers, and make vendor management simpler, but analysts and IT managers remain wary of vendor lock-in. Cisco has the most to gain in this new market for converged hardware platforms, with installations in nearly every data center around the world."
