With certified libraries in C, Java and Perl developers will be able to use a downloadable SDK to build their apps. The AXP server is just another module in a Cisco switch running Cisco's own derivation of a modern Linux distro (Kernel 2.6.x) specifically hardened to run on a Cisco switch. Modules will include up to 1.4-GHz Intel Pentium with 2 GB RAM and a 160-GB hard drive."
