Happy New Yr. ANCRites. Tidbits from Dec. Infostor..................
Editorial by Dave Simpson, Editor.......
Beware of (or ignore) comissioned tests
................enough on that subject, but it is a nice
write-up and further Evidence that BRCD's tactics are getting them in trouble within their peer group.
From an article on IBM
"while much of the lab's component-level testing has thus far focused on IBM products, IBM plans to bring in products from other vendors, such as Ancor and Crossroads.......................the lab has run into problems trying to hook up a Sun server via the Data Gateway to an Enterprise Storage Server............
Intelligent solutions offers bundled SANs................At the low end, a workgroup configuration priced at 59,900 includes one 8-port switch, four adapters, eitht GBICs, a 200 GB array, cabling, and drivers. A high-end configuration (225,000) includes a 16-port switch, 12 host bus adapters, 12 GBICs, two AccurAID-II arrays, a Sun Ultra 60 server, nine-cassette DFT tape library, and Legato Networker software.................
Looking forward to FC in '00. WOuld like to read about the first 1,000 director order for a BIG SAN for an ASP. It might happen. |
