point 1 : Biz plan for Brocade says they are after hi-performance
market...hence no AL. Just like they will never do Hubs.
what's your beef ?

point 2: they have 2 ports per ASIC and proven switch in customers'
hands for the last year. NO recalls, No problems. It's a Qualified
product. Match it, Ancor with your new switch and show that it
inter-operates with all third parties HBA/nic cards.
my sources told me Brocade is sitting on an 8 port per ASIC
switch waiting for an opportune time to launch without
cannibalizing their first gen. product.

point 3 : what good is lower price per port when it's buggy or
plain doesnt work ? Is AMD putting Intel out of biz ?

point 4 : FC will never make it in LANs. Brocade is going after
class 2/3 SANs. All mass storage cos favors class2/3.

point 5 : Too bad , Hardly anyone is buying from them...

point 6 : Class 1 is crap.

point 7: the silkworm demo i saw at Interop had 4 switches all
cascaded upto 64 ports and demo'ed a movie across 4 switches
with a 10km reel of optical fibre in between ie. some ports
running 20km distance (round trip) and the movie was crisp &
smooth. Get your facts straight. perhaps, it will be shown @
Atlanta again.

point 8 : The truth will come out soon enuff. Lowest latency for
useless frame sizes...more likely.

point 9 : yawn....

point 10 : wasnt this the same line they used in 96 ?

Dont quit your day job...
