RE: Brocade...and its rivals that could slow down the arrival of interoperable products.

Therefore it is going to be an even harder fight to establish a standard that is controlled by one company.] Way to go Lindy. Spoken like a true gorilla gamer who owns shares of Brocade! Not to mention that a very important person from Brocade holds the following clout: Kumar Malavalli, Vice President of Technology A BROCADE co-founder, Kumar Malavalli has over 20 years of industry experience. Prior to BROCADE, he was Hewlett-Packard's Senior Fibre Channel Architect. A key contributor in a select and strategic industry team that originated the Fibre Channel architecture, Malavalli guided the technology through the industry standards committees. He currently chairs the ANSI Fibre Channel Switch Committee and the Fibre Channel Association Technology Committee. Malavalli also holds Fibre Channel Switch patents. I'm going to try to stay awake to hear Reyes speak at 5:45 PM EDT on the webcast following the earnings announcement tonight. However, that's going to be hard to do since I'm falling asleep at the moment. BB
