"Vixel opens the door to more network storage. The fabless
company develops interconnect devices for SANs, or storage
area networks, which link networked computers and servers
to data storage devices. Vixel's switches, hubs, and
transceivers are based on fibre channel, a technology that
allows faster transmission of data between computer
devices than the older SCSI interconnect architecture
permits. The company also provides software for monitoring
and managing SAN connections. Vixel sells its products
directly and through resellers to such electronics
manufacturers as Compaq (30%), Sun Microsystems (25% of
sales), Lucent Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM."

IMO, VIXL is struggling against BRCD. I found nothing pointing me to any unique capability that VIXL possesses. Perhaps their relationship with NTAP is based on their willingness to apply themselves to NTAP SAN/NAS solutions. Here is a whitepaper from VIXL regarding their work with NTAP:
