I received 2 lists that seem to be generic SAN lists (ie, not
vendor/product specific). They are:

As to opinions on XioTech, a few people heard of it but that was all.  A
couple others actually looked at it and decided against it.  One is
still in eval with 3 vendors but likes the other 2 better.

Thanks.
