Steve, I not too long ago posted message [#1641] here in the GG/ASAP Thread which addresses the "Future I/O" and other emerging standards that will begin to impact on this space in the not too distant future.

I see this as being increasingly significant due to the emergence of new forms of
WAN-based dark fiber, and their DWDM-based lambda derivatives - both from a
total throughput perspective and for their networkability.

Do you or others here have any thoughts about FI/O and how it will affect
the fortunes of any particular company? Brocade? Ancor?

Regards, Frank Coluccio

Steve,

I have no reason to argue against the merits of Brocade. I was responding to Martin's request for competitors. Ancor is certainly on the list of competitors.

The best place that I know of for a comparison of architectures and features is the ANCR thread. Two recent messages in particular by Technocrat:
Message 10455304
Message 10455327

and of course the Fibre Channel thread on SI:
Subject 17781

Perhaps you have additional references for Martin.

Greg
