Kerry,
<<Did you catch the answer to your question re: low end of the FC market? My recollection is no plans to do hubs..as far as new switches, their architecture is scaleable BOTH up and down. I assume this relates to the 4 ports per ASIC design, which implies a capability to do 4,8,16,32,64 port switches, etc...>>
Yes, that's my recollection as well. No plans for hubs, but switch scalability in BOTH directions. If Brocade's $2,000 per port is anywhere close to accurate for SilkWorm Express, we can see the price advantages of Ancor's ASIC design. Maybe I'll get a 4 or 8-port MKII Lite with a bunch of Fast Ethernet ports after all. <g>
