Mark, Re; Fool interview with Reyes... Interesting article. Some thoughts (sarcasm?) on Reyes (BRCD) comments... << What I think is different between us and our competitors is we envision people building large networks of interconnected servers with storage and we were first to market with a product offering that made that possible, that's simple to manage, and simple to administer. >> Yes, Ancor envisions people building TEENY TINY LITTLE networks of interconnected servers with storage. << With such a dominant market-share position, we really are in a very unique position to be able to guarantee interoperability between multi-vendor servers and multi-vendor storage. It's turning into a real asset for the company. It solves one of the top issues end-users have. They don't want to have to muddle through trial-and-error, trying to make multi-vendor products work together. That's a strong suit of Brocade. >> I crack a smile every time I hear Brcd pushing for Interoperability. As many have pointed out here, many companies are frustrated by Brocade's purposeful hand slapping to bodies interested in promoting SAN interoperability. << The storage area network fits in between the server or the network-attached storage filer in the back-end storage, providing a networking model for interconnecting servers with storage. So, we view them as being very complementary technologies. >> Glad to see Reyes pushing this viewpoint. << When you're adding 150 employees a quarter and your revenue is growing at 40-plus percent, you want to make sure that you take advantage of that growth opportunity rather than having a growth opportunity turn on you. >> Is this a typo re; 150 employees a Quarter??? If so, that is INCREDIBLE!! Any word out there on Qlogic or Ancor acquiring people anywhere near this quickly?? Also, is it just me or is Reyes plugging cisco more these days? Cheers, pigboy p.s. Thanks George, ronald, Ed, Douglas, J, etc all.. for the great posts on the meeting/conferences.
