Here's a snip from the press release:

Brocade Communications Systems (San Jose, Calif.), a leader in Fibre Channel switching systems, uses Rambus technology in
the ASIC of its SilkWorm(TM) FL_Port Option Card. The ASIC uses a two-channel Base Rambus implementation, and
provides greater than 450 Mbytes per second of bandwidth from each ASIC. The card provides two ports for connecting two
individual Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loops that can support up to 126 devices each. The SilkWorm switch creates a fabric - a
communications infrastructure for networking servers and storage - which is the essential element for the development of
Server-Storage Area Networks (SANs).

''Brocade chose Rambus technology primarily because it was the most cost-effective solution,'' said Paul Bonderson, vice
president of engineering. ''An equivalent-bandwidth SDRAM solution would have required 58 more pins on the ASIC, and
the lack of available 'by 9' organization would have required more parts, increasing both cost and real estate. In addition,
Brocade was the first company to use this technology in the 500K process with LSI Logic, and Rambus did a wonderful job
supporting us from the beginning to the end of the project.''
