worked for SUNW in the qualification of their computer systems in the Reliability Lab as the Lab Manager

Now here's the first interesting thing you've been saying. Until when? Did you have any involvement in reliability testing of FC equipment, or any information about it? How do you explain Sun going with Ancor if their gear is supposedly so shitty? Perhaps you should call your old pals over there to get an update on what they think of Ancor's switches and Vixel's hubs these days?

they do not just drop suppliers on the first hint of trouble

Agreed - the problems with the Vixel hubs must have been severe for Sun to consider replacing them in the installed customer base. Of course there's the added factor of the entire market moving away from hubs to switches.
