Pigboy,

<<<Brocade has a totally and completely new approach in
trying to sell switches for $5000. >>>

Thanks for a great post. I can't see a switch from Brocade be this cheap at their today's per port cost. A switch with two ot three ports is not very useful IMO, may as well go point to point. I do see a small switch which uses FC-AL for storage devices and the rest of the switch ports for servers. Small companies may want to use that. That is, they would not need anything more than just a few ports for all their devices. Most bigger companies would need more than one switch to interconnect their servers and storage devices. So, a small switch does not make sense right now. All IMHO.

KJ
