Thread, From the EMC announcement: "We have now shipped about $500 million in Symmetrix Enterprise Storage systems with Fibre Channel connectivity in less than a year," Ruettgers noted. "While others have described the market for Fibre Channel as developing slowly, we have found the opposite to be true. The increased distance and speed enabled by linking servers and storage systems using Fibre Channel are helping EMC customers - particularly in the Windows NT environment - to deploy EMC Enterprise Storage Networks, which combine the benefits of distributed computing and consolidated information. We believe this trend will accelerate overall demand for Windows NT in mission-critical applications."
