The folks over at Cisco Subnet (not sure if this is still my friend Brad Reese writing this over there) had an interesting blog yesterday about an announcement we made here at Interop. We announced that we will throw our support behind Cisco's AXP. That is the blade extension to turn a Cisco ISR into a Linux app server. You may remember that I blogged on this earlier here and here in relation to an article by Don Marti on LinuxWorld. Well this announcement, as the Cisco subnet article points out, put our money where our mouth is on this one.
As the subnet article points out as well, I think the real question is not whether we in IT are going to run more apps on our router boxes, but whether or not these "God boxes" will be expensive, proprietary black boxes like Cisco routers or low-cost standards based off the shelf hardware. With this announcement, we are covering all of our bases and saying you pick the platform of your choice, we will support it. That is the StillSecure way.

What hardware will the "God Box" run on?
