re: P.S. I know you also follow SUNW. SUNW recently acquired a private company that will also allow them to develop a VSAN type enterprise storage product but it sounds like it will be proprietary to the Solaris environment but I am not totally sure. Sunw's approach is similar to Cisco's design where FPGA's are incorporated into the switch design that allow on-the-fly programming of the fabric switch. The BRCD/Rhapsody VSAN approach is both a hardware and software solution. I believe the hardware still utilizes static ASICS (or even the new LSI ASICs that provide for some chip level programmability) but it is still dependant on their proprietary software hooks built into the hardware. How does that play with this I wonder? 8:25AM Brocade expands relationship with Sun Micro (BRCD) 5.61: Under terms of the expanded reseller agreement, Sun will now make Brocade SilkWorm Fibre Channel fabric switches available through its reseller and direct sales channels worldwide.
