Hi, We've been presented with a tender for a large-scale storage system using fibre channel. It's based upon the Xiotech (www.xiotech.com) Magnitude system. http://www.xiotech.com/cgi-bin/magnitude.pl It's to be used for storage with Netware and UNIX using differing areas of the disk. Looks good. However, I've had no experience of FC before. I notice 4.0S supports the QLogic cards. I'd like to know whether Magnitude and a QLogic card under 4.0S would function happily. Is FC as open standard as SCSI? Xiotech do their own FC cards, but of course they aren't supported. Would the QLogic be just as good? Cheers.
