I wonder what impact this would put on other vendors to turn down
their power consumptions and turn, as Juniper and Ixia like to put it
- Green!

I do recall some people bashing Cisco products for their power consumption
at a recent tech event I attended. Granted, that event was Juniper-centric :)

Given the economic (rising power and cooling costs) and sometimes logistical (lack of power available in a facility) realities of operating networks and data centers, I'm sure everyone would love for their gear to draw less power. How many watts could actually be saved remains to be seen...
