<<<They try to develop products in house, set
standards, get patents and when that fails they wait and buy the best available company
to position themselves in the targeted market.>>>

Looks like SSA turned out just like OS2. IBM once again failed in their
attempt to set and control the standards themselves. Now they have
conceded defeat and are going with Fibre Channel (an open standard).

You raise another possible scenario. Ancor does several storage OEM's
next year including one with company X. Company X uses the Ancor MKII
switch as part of their FC storage product line. Company X is very
successfull and IBM buys the company. Now IBM uses their sales and
marketing muscle to greatly expand company X's sales. Now Ancor
has IBM selling their switch. That's a scenario I wouldn't mind seeing.

Steve
