"We chose Ancor because of its superior ability to scale and meet our customers' current and future interconnect requirements."

Maybe Ancor provides the software solution that SUNW has been looking for.... It was reported that SUNW was having a problem with their micro code to support different storage/server platforms. Perhaps Ancor software code is the solution.
