Hey Alan,
SGI is OEMing a FC switch from someone per a convo I had with someone there...as I have posted. :-) When or who with, I have zero clue. Last I checked SGI and Cray were like this...@.
In addition, if CPQ/DEC, SUNW, Data General, SQNT, HWP, SEG, QNTM, WDC, EMC, IBM, EDS, etc... are going to be doing a lot more with FC in the coming year, a lot more than any kind of HIPPI, I wouldn't worry too much. As my father has said, the hippi thing was already done before in the 60's. :-) Now, Fibre Channel...thats a new fad, I hear. :-)
i may be wrong. more later...
all imho

p.s. No offense to the Hippi folk...I am just joking. It looks as if Hippi will be very important for many networking functions in the near future. |
