Anyone see the possibility in three to five years of having a Director's Director, with 512 Channels, but only optical ports, each optical port carrying 32 Channels in low cost serial transmission (using something like Finisar's FTRX tranceivers). Could be used to multistage multiple directors in giant Data Centers.

Start out with one optical module that has 32 Fibre Channels or Infiniband Channels, then pop in additional modules as needed, with a total capacity of 16 optical modules, 512 channels.

Maybe I am looking too far ahead.
