OT " I've come in here every now and then and touted Fibre Channel. etc... have opinions on this stuff? " I'll try. He certainly makes some valid points re: Fibre. The management of a fabric is in its infancy. Point to point and loop solutions are getting pretty common, though. NAS has it's primary place in file systems, and SAN seems primary in databases. A key point he does not include is that even 10 gig ethernet is still only IP, whereas the Fibre protocol does SCSI protocol, IP, and will do VI. So a "dumb" disk array on IP won't work as the storage for a database. So I see both having big roles going forward. They just serve different requirements. Back on topic. Either way, you need lots of Intel CPU power to make it all work. Mike
