George,

I saw an ad on page 61 of the latest issue of PC Week that was interesting, and relates to the bandwidth questions. It is from SGI, and is an ad for their Origin Server. It shows a picture of the unit, and gives some of the features:

"Full 64-bit system hardware and software"
"2-64 GB/sec I/O bandwidth"
"Up to 88 Fibrechannels at 100 MB/sec each"
"64 MB to 256 GB main memory"
"Up to 400 Terabytes online storage"

It would seem as if the target market for Ancor Fibre Channel switches has already addressed the bus bandwidth problem.

I don't recall if we have talked about SGI as a potential OEM for Ancor or Brocade, but they certainly appear to have the hardware to utilize a switched fabric.
