Procom has 7 straight quarters of declining revenues. It has a new line of storage appliances that use a nifty 64-bit file system optimized for file-serving but file-serving is just one of many enterprise applications. SAN QoC encompasses three metrics that characterize how well a SAN will service enterprise applications. These metrics are: - availability of connection - performance degradation - bandwidth scalability Availability of connection alone is inadequate, as it describes only the presence or absence of a service. Quality of Connection is a complete characterization that describes how a service will operate under both normal and adverse failure conditions, and how effectively it will scale bandwidth with connectivity. mcdata.com Going by applications....

"Dell and Quantum plan to reach new customer markets and explore new directions in product development," said Anders Axelsson, vice president and general manager for Quantum's Server Appliances Division. "Together, we seek to grow the workgroup NAS market opportunities beyond analyst forecasts as we apply our collective strengths to category awareness and adoption." According to a recent study conducted by PC Data, Quantum currently has 85 percent market share in the workgroup NAS market. Dataquest projects the NAS market to reach $6.5 billion by 2003. siliconinvestor.com
