| Cisco says it's not eating its SAN young; Sprint divesting iDEN
Cisco says the drop-off in its Fibre Channel SAN revenue and market share in the first quarter of this year is attributable to three factors: an early stage migration to 8Gbps; a lower-cost migration than rival Brocade; and exposure to financial buyers, which are hard hit by the recession.
