Nice find Louie, hmmm, we will have to find out who's this is won't we. You got me looking around, here is another teaser...Oct 22 date compaq.com Reinventing Enterprise Storage Introducing the Storage Industry's First 2 Gb/sec FC Virtual Array and the Fusion of NAS & SAN October 22, 2001 Compaq announces two exciting and innovative StorageWorks™ enterprise storage solutions that extend the boundaries of performance, availability and scalability by allowing customers to move beyond the limitations of traditional storage. Compaq announces the following products and solutions: StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array - Virtually Boundless Storage The StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array is the newest generation of StorageWorks Disk Arrays by Compaq and is enabled by Versastor Technology. Most have given up looking for Versastor, and it's 2G.. and here is the possible Q dot... 3.22.01 Compaq selected QLogic's 2 gigabit Fibre Channel products for VersaStor™ Technology qlogic.com So clearly we are involved with the Oct 22 release on Compaq 2G Versastor, so why not this new FC switched array? This would do it for me, as a clear signal that QLGC can switch the SAN. Wouldn't that be something? Imagine BRCD having a hard time with moving up market to MCDT INRG turf with QLGC embedded arrays eating away at the edge switches? We need validation on what might be happening at CPQ. Anyone able to help us out? Thanks in advance. PS QLGC has always said watch the transitions and has an excellent track record of selling one part to a company and doing a good job and then selling another and another. I hope that the, "get your foot in the door" strategy that Q has works at CPQ for them. Hoping for the best.
