Good article in Computer World, 15 Dec, on the Amoco fibre channel network. They talk of specifically selecting FC over GE. "Amoco Corp. is counting on new Fibre Channel technology to help speed up its search for oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico. The petroleum giant has installed a Fibre Channel-based network to improve the way huge seismic data models are accessed by geologists at its Offshore Business Unit in New Orleans, said Amoco technical consultant Delbert Johnson." "At Amoco, a Fibre Channel switch from Ancor Communications, Inc. links Sun Micro-systems, Inc. and Silicon Graphics, Inc. servers -- which store the data -- with visualization, modeling and analysis applications running on desktop workstations. With companies such as Amoco, the move to Fibre Channel technology is starting to take shape."
