Craig and all, What's your take on DEC OEMing SQNT's NUMA line? It does seem to strengthen Brocade's position with regard to DEC and consequenlty with CPQ as well. Another PR on the subject from today. BEAVERTON, Ore., March 11 (Reuters) - Sequent Computer Systems Inc (NASDAQ:SQNT) said on Wednesday that Digital Equipment Corp (NYSE:DEC) agreed to sell an upcoming line of powerful Sequent computers under the Digital Equipment brand name. It would be the first time that Sequent, based in Beaverton, Ore., agreed to sell its NUMA Center machines under a different company's brand. Financial terms of agreement were not disclosed. Sequent builds computers that tap the power of several microprocessors instead of one, as most computers do. Its computers handle huge volumes of business information, like credit-card purchases, brokerage transaction and telephone network tasks. The company plans to build a new generation of its multiprocessor NUMA machines using Intel Corp's upcoming Merced microprocessor. Merced, a powerful chip that will eventually replace the Pentium, is expected to be introduced in 1999 or 2000. Digital Equipment, which is in the process of being acquired by Compaq Computer Corp, will sell Sequent's Merced-based machines under its brand, the companies said. Sequent said the new machines will be able to run Unix and Windows NT software concurrently. Unix and Windows NT are the two most favored software standards among big companies for storing huge volumes of business information. In January, Digital Equipment and Sequent agreed to work together to develop a version of the Unix operating system to run on the Intel Merced. Copyright 1998, Reuters News Service

Craig S, here is your old post asking ANCR to develop a product, To: +George Dawson (14935 ) From: +Craig Stevenson Monday, Mar 9 1998 9:36AM ET Reply # of 15685 George, Yes, the Ethernet to FC gateway is one of my pet projects. I get upset every time I see a reference in the trade magazines that Fibre Channel shouldn't be considered at this time because this particular connectivity device is not available. (This isn't true, since Ancor does offer such a device, but it really isn't a high-performance solution.) I still believe that Ancor should develop such a product, and then make sure that these writers know about it. Then, we would get statements like, "Ancor Communications currently offers the only high-performance Ethernet to Fibre Channel gateway. Contact Ancor at..." Craig Is the news posted by Louie this product!!!!!!?Maybe they heard you!!!!!!???
