George, Our discussion reminded me of an article in the February 23rd issue of PC Week. It is titled, "The Master of Domain Names", and begins around page 103. (I tore out the article, and there aren't page numbers on the first page. <g>) At any rate, the reason I read it is because it relates to Network Solutions, the company that manages the Internet's DNS. Here is a quote I found interesting: "Network Solutions recently implemented a new domain registration service as an alternative to the cryptic InterNIC e-mail system (www.worldnic.com). It's run on an impressive Sun UltraSPARC with a Fibre Channel RAID system." I'm not trying to infer any relationship to Ancor here, but it is still nice to see some Fibre Channel products hitting the mainstream. Craig

To All: I just received my February, 1998 copy of Computer Technology Review in the mail. Page 10 has an article titled, "Sun Microsystems Enters Heterogeneous Computing With The Intelligent Storage Network". They talk about Sun's strategy for storage networks, and even have a picture of the StorEDGE A5000 array. A couple of VERY interesting quotes: "Next, Sun has embraced Fibre Channel networking, offering a backbone optimized for storage operations." "The A5000 offers hot-pluggable FC hubs, with FC switches available later this year." A backbone optimized for storage operations, and switches available later this year. Sounds interesting... I'd say we have at least a one out of three chance. (Ancor, Brocade, or Vixel/Arcxel.) Craig
