Victor - The author of this article obviously does not know too much about this market. He touts SGI as the leader, says CPQ can not hope to get to their level of expertise - well, CPQ just blew away SGI's fabric benchmark last month, and not by a little. Tandem is probably the leader in understanding of MESH designs. CPQ has been driving this technology into the 'standard' space for several years, most visibly with the VI architecture and ServerNet. There was an announcement this week on a joint CPQ/Microsoft development of MESH support in NT. In short, CPQ through Tandem has the majority of the patents, intellectual property, and in-house expertise in the industry. I think the author of this article went out to dinner with someone from SGI and got smoked. Feel free to post this over to Yahoo - I'll do it if I get a minute, pretty busy today.
