Solid article in InfoStor on status of interop issues with comments from many of the current players. Fibre Channel Interoperability: Are We There Yet ? www2.infostor.com <<As with any new interface, Fibre Channel poses daunting interoperability challenges for both vendors and third-party systems integrators, as well as for end users that want the flexibility of mixing and matching products from different vendors. Although significant strides have been made over the last year, the fact remains that the industry is still far from the promised land where any vendors' host bus adapter, disk drive, subsystem, switch, hub, etc., will work with every other vendors' devices.>> <<“The main challenge with Fibre Channel vs. SCSI is that Fibre Channel is a network, and cabled SCSI is a storage channel,” says Jerry Campbell, manager of systems at Ancor Communications, a switch vendor in Minnetonka, MN. >> <<Other players contend that, unless you want to become a test organization, use a third-party integrator or a large vendor that has tight partnerships, because those companies have already performed the interoperability testing. “My advice to end users is to use a systems integrator that's well-versed in Fibre Channel,” says Ancor's Campbell. >>
