And then there is Brocade, for whom IP represents a good news, bad news
kind of deal.
First, the good news
OK. I lied there is no good news for Brocade.
So lets turn to the bad news (always more fun, eh?), most notably the fact
that Brocade is in a tough spot when it comes to adapting its strategy to
accommodate IP.
Whatever should it do? One option would be to follow Ciscos example and buy
one or more startups in the new space. Has Brocade bought an aspiring iSCSI
vendor? Not that Ive noticed. Instead, it has chosen to partner with Cisco
on developing an IP blade that will sit in its Silkworm 12000 SAN platform, which alas! isnt
shipping.
