Hi Scott! Can you explain how "Object Routing" works?

>>>>>>followed both Fibre Channel and SSA (Serial Storage Architecture) for a while and was much more impressed with SSA. IBM has been shipping it for quite sometime now ...

1) I think Fibre Channel's unique ability to work with so many different types of networks, its latency, and many of its other qualities combined with its backing by the majority of storage suppliers makes it a technology that with open standards can become extremely pervasive. I think technologies that have fences around them cannot multiply fast enough on the wide open prairies of the "Internet World" to keep up, dominate, and become ubiquitous.

2) I think Fibre Channel will take off next year. As Fibre Channel interoperability improves, at some point the economies of scale on production, will drive the price down to the point where it will explode onto "the scene" of the average-Joe.

My fingers are crossed waiting for something to happen here. I hope I am right.

Joe W.
