>>Has Data General declared as to a switch vendor?

CLARiiON, currently has storage and storage networks using fibre channel. They are using switches. The storage arrays use both front end and back end fibre channel. The drives are also fibre channel. The DGN/ Dell PR is old news. According to everyone's favorite oracle, [the apparition known as ar] don't even consider it as he has taken over IR for DGN as well, [at least on Yahoo!]. However, at the moment, he is to busy with M&A activity to pay much attention to his IR duties.
