percentage points of revenue over its nearest competitor in the
mezzanine card segment during the first quarter of 2010 according to the
Dell’Oro Group‘s

and mezzanine cards are two of the fastest growing market segments in
2010 according to the Dell’Oro Group’s January 2010 SAN forecast report.

important and exciting because that is where the market is headed as we
continue to see customers transition from 4Gb/s to 8Gb/s Fibre Channel

development, Emulex. "In addition, Emulex remains the market share
leader in the next generation 10Gb/s Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
