ANCR's topic isn't FC switches, but switch features.......

HARD ZONING FOR SECURITY
Thomas Raeuchle, Vice President, Engineering
Ancor Communications

The new MKII-8 has it...
Ironclad "hard zoning" (for greater security)

Perhaps it is a way to differentiate and highlight their product...

Ancor is the only Fibre Channel switch manufacturer that provides hard zoning

Ed Frymoyer said this about hard zoning.....

Zoning is an essential feature for SAN management of information assets. Ancor's hard zoning
uniquely provides customers with the highest security," said Ed Frymoyer, a Fibre Channel
consultant and founder of emf Associates. "It enables, for example, sensitive human resources data
to be on the same SAN as engineering's CAD drawings. There would be virtually zero risk of
compromising the integrity of that HR data."

Go ANCR. With this presence on the West Coast and the New York presentation to the investment community just one day apart they must be booking some long miles and hours.
