#Cisco Systems is preparing a new hyper-converged appliance that combines its #UCS servers with technology gained from an OEM agreement with hyper-converged software startup #Springpath, multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told CRN on Monday.

The sources said Cisco has also made an undisclosed investment in Springpath, which was founded in 2012 by former #VMware storage engineers as #Storvisor and emerged from stealth mode under its new name last February.
