"Do the switches only do the backup and not the clustering, or do they do both? , ie is
this clustering FC, backup FC or both. On SI home page there is a nice editorial about
how NT will be making life difficult for SUNW pretty soon. Does NT want FC to help
them in their quest for dominance?"

The switches do the backup - there was no mention of clustering. I don't think FC will help NT more than Sun - all you need is I/O that supports FC on either machine for FC backup, clustering, or LAN/SAN. Backup was listed on a slide as an important market.
