Fang Li, Could be either as long as their I/O bus supports FC. Given the market emphasis on storage and GE in the LAN (or at least as the backbone), they will probably emphasize FC for storage and back up. Remember Roy S. earlier post that he thought Brocade's new 8-port switch may have the edge with IBM? I hope he is wrong and I think Ancor has a chance. I think a comparison between IBM's high performance cluster and Sequent's NUMA-Q would be very interesting. A busy fabric attached to the IBM system would probably need much lower latency than the one attached to the Sequent system. At least that is my initial guess before looking at the numbers. George D.
