Say not bad for couple of three Indian boys,eh? BTW you still holding

Piping the Future
Gigabit Fast Moves
The networking industry has few rivals in speed, and fewer still in its predatory nature. Companies are founded and live their life with a singular exit strategy: acquisition.I> Here's how a 45-person company was sold for $285 million to Cabletron Systems, with a product still under development!
Three guys . . . Bespectacled and Engineers in mind, matter and heart . . .
Piyush Patel. He possessed extensive experience in managing critical microprocessor development at Intel, Sun Microsystems, MIPS Systems and QED. Sound knowledge of the semiconductor industry and the ways of Silicon Valley.
Romulus Pereira. Deeply knowledgeable about routing and switching software architecture. He designed the software for Cisco's Catalyst 3000 family line, and was instrumental in driving hardware interface specifications and designing hybrid switching engines that maximized performance and minimized cost.
Nilesh Shah. The switching hardware guru, he developed the hardware design for LAN adapters and switches at GE Calma, Excelan, Ultra Network technologies, and finally Cisco.
These three fellows got together to start yet another gigabit operation. And that's exactly what they called it – YAGO (Yet Another Gigabit Operation). At that time, 17 known startups raced to be the first to market with a gigabit Ethernet switch. But YAGO did not want to be just another gigabit operation. In their minds, their name had to be denied.....
