Patrick,

<<<Support for Sun's full line of storage products, including the
Sun TM RSM Array TM 2000 as well as new products based
on Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop technology to be
introduced later this year; >>>

<<<that language looks ambiguous to me. Sun could mean that they are waiting
to receive and test the technology, or that the technology will be available to them in
sufficient quantities for shipment later in the year. If the former, which I doubt since
why would Sun go out on a limb like this, it probably means Brocade since Sun
presumably already has received what Ancor has to offer. >>>

My interpretation of Sun's statements is that their version of FC-AL storage system is not yet tested and GA(general available). That has nothing to do with Ancor's or Brocade's availability of FC-AL/switch.Remember, these new devices have to have FC interfaces and can operate in FC-AL mode(from the storage side). You guys are confusing the issue. If this is unclear, please let me know. They are apples and oranges.

KJ
