Alan, <<FC's Tier 1 SAN players battling it out in the market place. Hope they're all investing in the best technology available or someone's going to get creamed...>> I've been thinking about this for a long time, and it seems to me that because of the extremely competitive market, these companies would want every edge they can get. That would include price, scalability, performance, and reliability. Ancor's MKII has a competitive (although not the lowest) price, along with better scalability, performance, and reliability. (It also has Class 1 and Intermix.) That should translate into a marketplace edge, at least until Brocade catches up with the technology. Craig

More from HP. << For customers needing the scalability, distance, flexibility and performance of fibre channel, HP also is shipping its Model 30/FC Fibre Channel High-Availability Disk Array subsystem and EMC Symmetrix 3000 Series Arrays with the HP NetServer LH Pro and HP NetServer LX Pro and LXr Pro systems. "With our second-generation high-availability offerings for NT, we are building on our success and experience in the UNIX system environment by integrating enterprise-class components on our Intel-based HP NetServer systems and by lowering customers' total cost of ownership," said Maria Cannon, general manager of HP's Enterprise NetServer Operation. "Customers now can take advantage of the latest technologies, such as fibre channel, while leveraging such existing assets as AutoRAID, and can use the same software-management framework, services and support for both UNIX system and NT environments." To allow customers to consolidate their mixed UNIX system and NT environments while leveraging existing data-center resources, new configurations for Fibre Channel and cluster configurations for the HP NetServer LXr Pro8 system are scheduled to be available this quarter.>> newsalert.com related article from "Computer Reseller News" techweb.com
