Alan,

Cray may not OEM any FC switches, but their I/O architecture supports it:

HIPPI 6400 seems to have the political backing of LLNL and several other facilities that use supercomputers. I have posted links to proposed systems with switched HIPPI LANS sending data out over WDM systems.

Steve, what is your take on all this?

Interestingly, it may be possible to send data as fast over FC as HIPPI. HIPPI switches are currently available from Gigalabs.

According to CERN-switches and hubs will not be available until later this year from other manufacturers:
