BRCD will lose this one. FC is just glorified networking. The idea of a box full of hard disks attached to competing servers over a dedicated network is unsound - particularly so when the price is so high for what is a badly matched box of commodity components. I have been involved in numerous implementations of this technology and have not seen one case where SCSI wasn't a better solution. Not to mention that the box of hard disks has its own operating system which is another trainng/support overhead. An expensive waste of money in my opinion as a datacenter designer.
