Neil,

<<Compaq acquired well-respected clustering technology when it bought Tandem last year, and the companies are moving that proprietary technology to NT/Intel servers>>>

Although I'm not surprised,I'm disappointed in Compaq. They must have been working on this proprietary clustering scheme for a while and decided to move ahead with it. Other companies would be a different story. They don't own a 'Tandem'. FC is versatile and is ANSI standard. I wonder what's the distance limit and speed of this ServerNet and how many nodes can be clustered together.

Neil,

While we're at it: More on IBM's clustering plans

infoworld.com

No mention of fibre channel per se -- but what is this? "IBM will release a software management console for these Unix-NT clusters later this year, with connecting switches and optimized applications available approximately one year from now."
