Amy, thread, here is a little more food for thought WRT the enterprise market in the interview below with EMC CEO Michael Ruettgers. A couple of interesting parts to highlight: Ruettgers: Last year I talked to approximately 600 customers, typically in person. The dot-coms are concerned about scalability and reliability and have these things [available in products from] Cisco, Oracle, Sun in servers and EMC in storage. Ninety percent of dot-coms use these four players. No surprises there. At least companies wanting in should know what companies and attributes to target. Ruettgers: I continue to see growth [in the SANs market], and more and more server players supporting fiber connectivity, driving SCSI out of interconnection stuff. Pigboy ought to like that. Ruettgers: We support Linux now. Global 2000 isn't using it now as far as for mission-critical systems. We're not sure where [Linux] is going.There's a general belief [code is written] for NT first.
