MCDT & EMC's relationship expanding: Here's an excerpt from the EMC-McDATA OEM agreement (7/24 S 1/A) that gives one an idea of the type of intelligence that McDATA is designing into its product and the kind of meticulous testing that goes into the forthcoming product introductions. 2.0 OVERVIEW OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE Each PRODUCT will go through the phases outlined below. These phases are outlined for the purpose of determining EMC and McDATA responsibilities. 2.0.1 CONCEPT EXPLORATION PHASE This phase is used to scope the interdependencies of various pieces of Product and complete the initial design and specification work for the development of Product.
