McData management is rather unimpressive. They don't have good answers to key issues and they love to bag on Brocade while Brocade just plain and simple: 1) has a superior, market share-driven strategy and 2) better execution by management focusing on new products with key features at aggressive price points. BRCD offers their 2Gb product at the same price as their 1Gb product. MCDT doesn't have a 2Gb product so there is really no comparison. If you could have 2x (needed) horsepower under the hood of your car and it runs quietly and with less gas (features) for free, why would you buy a McData switch. That might be overstating it as McData does have a presence in the marketplace and will sell some product but they are going to die unless they get some better management in there...
