Gigabit Ethernet runs at 100 MB/sec just like fibre channel does.
125MB/s unless Gigabit != 1000 Mb in the Gigabit Ethernet context.
To me, SAN technology is ideally suited for things like attaching to lots and lots of disks, sharing tapes between multiple systems, so those are the benefits that we are hoping to achieve in our OEM relationship with Brocade.
Yes, but I'd still like to see only 1 protocol on the NAC. OK, 2 tops (NFS/CIFS replacement and maybe HTTP). Quite frankly I don't care whether the box thinks it is its local disk or a network disk (SAN vs. NAS).
