    • Byte and Switch: How does iSCSI fit into your product plans? [See iSCSI's Big Bang?]

      Koch: We're not certain how quickly iSCSI will be adopted and become prevalent in SANs, but we've had a long history of adopting a variety of different protocols in our products to satisfy our customers' requirements. We support any number of transport protocols – T1, T3, OC3, whatever – and again we demonstrated it on the switching side, in that we were one of two companies that produced an Escon director. And we're now one of two companies that have produced a Ficon director. So we're very comfortable that we're able to develop a protocol-agnostic platform. So if iSCSI develops, it may take a little longer, but we'll be there.
