Nortel launches smear campaign against Cisco
Posted by: admin in Industry and Business, tags: cisco, energy, nortel
Nortel has started a new campaign called Stop paying the "Cisco Energy Tax." which claims that Nortel data networking equipment uses as much as 40% less energy than a comparable network.
So, how did they come to this groundbreaking conclusion? By their own report:
To support its argument, Nortel looked to reports from the Dell’ Oro Group to crunch through the Nortel Energy Efficiency Calculator to estimate how much it is costing businesses to stay with Cisco.
They hired a third party to use a Nortel brand calculator, and punch in numbers... and guess what the verdict was? We can save 6.1 billion dollars by switching everyone to Cisco. Come on now... seriously! The "proof" of cost savings is a Nortel created energy calculator? How about some real world testing?
