Greg,

Great job! Thanks for taking the time and effort to inform us.

On the subject of the 16 port ASIC, did they say when that might be available? It will be critical to ANCR's image(relative to Brocade) for them to get this out concurrently or before the 4 port Brocade Cocoon switch, IMO.

Also, did you hear anything about the exclusivity of Brocade's OEM's with the big boys like CPQ or DELL? I just wonder how fleeting these contracts are in terms of time and exclusivity. For example, it was posted by someone claiming to be a HP engineer(on the Yahoo board) that the contract with McData(aka Brocade) will terminate at year's end.

P.S. - Sorry, in my haste I have mistakenly posted this to the wrong person. This was meant to be in reply to Greg's post:
