Could someone tell me please,why isn't Brocade hamstrung by NDA requirements the way Ancor seems to be? Is it just one of the "advantages" of being a public company? TIA Kaizer

"I guess it is AL built into the switch that nobody particularly cares about:" janski, Actually, I don't think that this is what the ad is getting at. It is saying that switching scales better and gives you much greater aggregate bandwidth than FC-AL. Plenty of people currently care about FCAL, and there are currently many high end storage devices with built in FCAL loops. George D.
