MRVC has gotten a rave review on their latest layer 3 switch:

biz.yahoo.com

Many believe that since some of their enginnering is in Israel that when Sadaam starts problems, shareholders get spooked. Their revenue and product line seem solid.

Like the truth on the X-files, Kerry and Craig are still out there.

All:

recently there was discussion about this problem with GE fiber cabling that greatly reduced it's effective distance spec. Everyone seemed extremely happy about this.

But I don't understand why nobody mentioned this: If GE's physical layer implementation is essentially fiber channel, doesn't this cabling problem affect FC the same way???

Could somebody please explain what I'm missing here that was so obvious to everyone else?

Thanks,

Andrew

John,

<<What ever happend to Kerry and Craig S? I truly hope they are still with us.>>

I don't know about Kerry, but I'm still here. I've been having some blurred vision in one of my eyes, so I have to stay away from the computer screen as much as possible. I still check in once in a while, though. I've been spending more time reading the trade magazines. There are a TON of articles about Fibre Channel now, compared to six months ago. I still think Fibre Channel storage will be a BIG DEAL, but probably not until 1998. (That's probably what Ken was referring to in the conference call.)
