Cisco servers (because of the integrated switching), are holding their own,
although I wouldn't necessarily use the term "thriving" as yet.

Web Mail -- with or without Outlook integration -- is pure commodity.
 Microsoft is making money on the back-end of that equation, and Google is
just aiming for market share.    Cisco has no mind-share in web other than
at the infrastructure layer, the purchase of WebEx notwithstanding.
