All: More on 3Com SAN plans:

Cal mentioned during the call that they had heard rumors of Hub vendors moving upstream to Switches, but had not seen any examples. Here is one, and i expect it is more than just the Denali area switch in its present form. Given the referenced investment it looks like 3Com has made their FC move. Others will surely follow. In my view, this is a significant plus in moving the SAN market forward and will have a positive impact on valuations.

<<The StorageConnect line will include SAN hubs and switches, a host bus adapter for storage servers and a storage management suite that will be integrated with 3Com's Transcend network management system. 3Com tapped Gadzoox Networks Inc. to make the hubs and switches; 3Com also invested a significant amount of money in Gadzoox as part of the deal, according to sources.>>
