Chrapaty was the corporate VP of Global Foundation Services, the Microsoft business unit responsible for building and operating the company's data centers and Edge Content Network. Kara Swisher at Boomtown reports that Chrapaty will run the software collaboration group at Cisco. That group's previous head, Doug Dennerline, recently jumped to Salesforce.com.Where else could Chrapaty's experience come in handy? Cisco is building a $184 million data center in Allen, Texas and is also rumored to be working on a content delivery network.
