Cisco CCIE states that leading blade server vendors today are not delivering server virtualization

In a recent Cisco Data Center Networks blog entry: Data Center Virtualization R Us Cisco CCIE No. 1284 Routing and Switching - Omar Sultan states: "When it comes to virtualization experience, the leading blade server vendors today are not delivering server virtualization, VMware, Xen, and Microsoft are."

Omar then claims that Cisco is delivering network resource virtualization with: "VDCs in the Nexus." "VLANs across the Catalyst family." "VSANs in the MDS family." "L4-7 service virtualization in products like ACE and the Firewall Service Module." "VBS switch virtualization in our next-gen blade switches." "Heck, even the new ASR is running KVM.

Do YOU agree with Omar that Cisco is delivering network resource virtualization and that the leading blade server vendors today are not delivering server virtualization?
