Craig,

I wouldn't rule out more nodes on the Sun/NTT installation. The way I see it the two node Enterprise 6000 cluster is the enterprise server. As you know the Enterprise 6000 uses the Gigaplane interconnect for the multiple processors and FC or SCSI for the storage I/O.

I would not rule out this server being attached to a switched FC SAN with storage arrays and other attached nodes. In fact I would kind of expect it given the number of workstations and size of the database. The scaling problem they describe seems to be software based.

The interesting part for me is the Ancor/NTT connection - which I hope is still operative. If you scan the storage success stories at Sun you will see some enterprise storage with incoming ATM to a FDDI LAN and eventually to a data warehouse. This is a model I have also seen on the MCI site. It would be great to see incoming ATM to an FC LAN/SAN courtesy of an ATM/FC interface.
