Thanks, Greg. I guess this is the article FC_Fan
was referencing. I had read this when it originally
came out. All in all, the article was fine with me. I
failed to find any passage which used words like "technically
clunky product from every viewpoint" or "can't be taken
seriously" which is why I assumed Brocade got another
shill to write a bogus article. My apologies to
Red Herring. Also, I strongly doubt these are the
words of Roy Sardina regardless of the previous
handle.

Both Ancor and Brocade have had their share of screwups.
Neither company predicted the FC market correctly which
had many saavy investors just as puzzled :-) Brocade
could be just as big of a gorilla as DC Hayes was to modems.
There was a time where Hayes had more than 80% of a
market but they got stomped. Nor did Brocade come to
the SAN market early as FC_Fan implies. Both Ancor
and Brocade will co-exist for a good while and there is
no way Brocade will sustain 80% market share for any
significant switch volume.

What irks me is the timing of the patter. Somebody
feels some pressure. That is all I can figure.
