Big Vendors Offer IP Prognoses

JUNE 29, 2001 - Intel and QLogic make predictions about how they see the markets for iSCSI and FC shaking out.

Blaine Kohl, business unit manager within Intel Corp.'s (Nasdaq: INTC - message board) LAN Access Division paints a bleak picture of Fibre Channel's future. "I think there is a home for Fibre Channel, particularly at the high end. I think Fibre Channel will be a lot like we see with Token Ring. Ten years from now we may see a few percentage points of the SAN market still owned by Fibre Channel."

She says Intel will be supporting the iSNS protocol on its Intel PRO/1000 IP Storage Adapter, projected to be available later this year. That protocol provides a naming service for iSCSI devices similar to what DNS does for the Internet (see IP Storage Makes Names for Itself).
