Craig, I could not have said it better. I was referring to the computer side where SAN = "system area network". The excerpt from my previous post's link that speaks to this concept is: "Recent events in the marketplace, as well as newly available products and technologies, have made the notion of clustering commodity PC servers into highly available, high-performance alternatives to the minicomputer or mainframe a practical reality." There still may be a place for FC. I remember when people talked about Sequent using FC for their cluster interconnect. If prices come down and FC gets faster with lower latency you could use it to connect everything, but there seem to be as many market forces operating against this as for it. Two good examples would be some of the engineers working with the other technologies describing FC as a nightmare of complexity (I am paraphrasing) and current FC powers not having sold enough of their 1 gig submicrosecond latency gear.
