Gadzoox's Capellix 3000 switch

I am not very well versed with the inner workings of a SAN though I am trying to get an handle on it. According to the general perception, SAN switching has been synonymous with Fabric protocol. But Gadzoox's Capellix 3000 differs from the pack in offering a FC-AL based storage switch. This switch is scalable (6 to 34), extensible (support future developments thro' plug-in modules (PIM's), single chassis based that attempts to eliminate the need of a fabric backbone switch for simple to moderate needs. Usually, alteast on message boards, people have been dismissing this switch as a smart hub (Gadzoox's Denali switch may be called a smart hub) but I think Capellix qualifies as a switch as it offers concurrency and zoning. This switch imo has terrific potential as the switching backplane is separated from the protocol engine and the ports that come in as a PIM. In other words, based on the same architecture, Capellix in the future can double up as a backbone fabric switch. Of course, I could be wrong but I would like to know where I am wrong.
