Subj: Sun/Ancor By: NetworkFuture Date: Mar 4 1998 6:50 P.M PST Reply To: Msg. 60 by nupooh_2 The Sun/Ancor talk recently is true. Despite the belief that Brocade would get the Sun business because of ties with Sun, this has not happened. Sun has chosen ANcor for one simple reason. They have the switch now. Sun does not want to sit and wait for Brocade and risk falling behind their competitors in the the area of FC storage. Despite talk from Brocade, they still do not have a working FC_AL switch. The announcement won't be coming anytime soon according to my sources but have no fear, ANCR has been chosen and will be the ONLY vendor they go with it as has been their past practices regarding OEM's. Also, regarding Sequent , they will not be doing any business with ANCR anytime soon. Despite what many people think after listening to the latest conference call, they are pleased with Brocade and have no plans of doing business with anyone else at the time. These thoughts come from UNH. I'll post more in the future.
