<< What page in IBD was the blurb about FC? (Or what article?) >> Here is a small excerpt. I don't think it's fair to subscribers to reprint the whole article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IBD: Compaq recently announced products based on fibre channel, a newer standard for moving data between storage and computers. Others are already in this market, which has been slow to develop. Do you expect fibre channel to catch on anytime soon? Mahadevan: . . . Compaq's storage always works the best with Compaq servers . . . . If you buy everything from Compaq, it's probably going to be ''A'' level . . . just because of the amount of systems-integration works we do with our own server brethren. Fibre channel is allowing us to develop the concept of a storage network or storage cloud. If you're sitting in Boston, you should be able to access data in Singapore. Fibre channel and wide-area networking and communications networks are all coming together to allow you to do that. I would say over the next 18 months you probably will see at least 30% of our revenue coming from fibre channel. It won't really become more mainstream until sometime in mid-'99.
