John R. "Beau" Vrolyk, President and CEO, 3ware: Page 7 of 9

Byte and Switch: How has what you did at SGI helped you in your position at 3ware – or, more diplomatically, what does a graphics company know about storage?

Vrolyk: SGI built some of the best and largest Fibre Channel SANs for the entertainment industry and the U.S. government.

Byte and Switch: Ah, okay... Perhaps we should be talking to them then?

Vrolyk: No, don’t bother. SGI has other things on its plate right now, like how to claw its way back from financial ruin.

Byte and Switch: We noticed from your bio that you did a philosophy degree. Has that affected your thinking at all at 3ware?
