>>For extensibility beyond that, I believe Capellix' FC-SW (fabric) Blade will be required to interoperate with other fabric switches (the backplane will pass the loops to the fabric blade which in turn will link to a fabric switch). << Douglas, In fact, you do not need a Capellix' FC-SW Blade in order to pass the loop traffic to other fabric switches. You can directly connect a Capellix port with a FL-port of the fabric switch. It will work like a hub attach to the switch. I do not think the port-to-port latency is a issue here. The port-to-port latency in Capellix is just as good as, or maybe better than fabric switch. In addition, the port-to-port latency is measured in ns, and the completion time of a FCP command is measured in us(micro-second)or ms. Thus, the port-to-port latency will not play a major part of the overall system performance. On the wavelength, I think there are Cappellix Blades which support GBIC. You can put in long-wave GBIC. If Cappellix came out 6-9 months earlier, it is a killer product. Now, it may be little late. Most of FC devices have added N-port support, and the cost of Fabric is dropping fast.
