J Fieb,

I would be happy to give you some comments. Let me preface by saying this is very good news. For those of us following Ancor for many years now - this Multistage Architecture was a feature of Ancor's LAN based products. Until recently there has been little demand for it in SANs because of the fact that a cascaded or meshed architecture could handle the traffic.

At the shareholder meeting this year, the point was made that as traffic in the SAN increases the need for more robust architectures would evolve. I am very glad to see this.

I would be very interested in seeing:

1. The acual configuration of the FC fabric and total number of cross connects.

2. The peak performance of the fabric relative to theoretical max performance of the servers/storage devices.

3. Whether any processor clustering occurred on the fabric. I recall an HDS demo where both were done on a single switch.

Further confirmation of Ancor's often understated technology.

George D.
