Being developed from SAN-OS or an MDS still doesn't make it either. 
Similar reliability "might" be there, but I wouldn't be convinced until 
there is some proof it provides a that level of stability and ability.


With a 4:1 over subscription on the card I saw, I don't know that it 
would be my immediate answer to 10G aggregation.
