Craig, I agree the SGI information is very interesting, especially the part about: "2-64 GB/sec I/O bandwidth" That covers a lot of possible switch combinations, but only Ancor has a single stage switch with a 64 GB backplane. Ancor has always made a point of being able to connect to SGI servers. George D.

Craig Both Brocade and ANCR demonstrated their switches running with the Origin server at Interop. <up to 400TB online storage> you ain't going to do that with stinkin' hubs! bp

<< I don't recall if we have talked about SGI as a potential OEM for Ancor or Brocade, but they certainly appear to have the hardware to utilize a switched fabric. >> Craig, SGI is going to oem a FC switch and a hub, per a conversation with an exec at SGI last week. Wouldn't say with whom, obviously, for NDA reasons. I think it will be with brocade or ancor on the switch side and gadzoox or vixel on the hub side. He did say that SGI were the only people to do a Terabyte backup w/ FC in one hour (with Oracle)...said Sun has tried to do, but hasn't yet. all imho pigboy
