More on FibreAlliance: techweb.com <<The FibreAlliance comes on the heels of a similar effort from Sun called StoreX. Some of the same vendors have pledged to support both initiatives. But the FibreAlliance partners plan to ship products by next quarter, while StoreX offerings aren't expected until the third quarter at the earliest.
