The Register on Quantum:

<<Fibre channels incompatible, HDD company claims

Corporations will find difficulties connecting everything

Posted 8th July 1998

A senior executive at Quantum has said it is delaying the introduction of fibre channel products because of incompatibilities between different offerings.

John Barnes, regional director of Quantum Europe, said today: "We do have a programme for fibre channel but also a programme for Ultra SCSI 3."

He said: "This is a market issue - we're backing both horses."

But, he said: "I'm not sure a standard for fibre channel has been sorted out yet. Not everyone's fibre channel works together."

That meant, said Barnes, that corporations were reluctant to adopt fibre channel devices and technologies for fear of finding themselves with conflicting kit.

"There may well be a case for fibre channel between boxes but SCSI might be inside the box," he added.>>

Sounds interesting. I'll make a point of asking him for you.

BTW, some of you had recently expressed interest in having me ask Ed about FC-Ethernet bridges. I did ask but unfortunately due to confidentiality restrictions I am unable to divulge the content of our discussion. What I can say is that there are 5+ companies looking at/working on this type of product, It looks as though betas could be seen early next year, and it sounds really cool!
