Ubiquity proved you can bust into the market from the bottom end if you want. Nothing was stopping them from doing the same but like many companies they prefer to focus on how much money they can siphon from the Fortune 1000 so I can't say I feel sorry for them.

I'm not sure why that's relevent, particularly since Ubiquity's approach wouldn't have remotely competed with Fujitsus custom ASICs if they were actual contemporaries, but you clearly have an agenda you're in love with, so...ok, sure.

No I was just saying Fujitsu never really made a play for any US marketshare. They had ways to go about it but they stuck to what they knew: high-touch sales, locked down support, focus on the Fortune 1000.

That's too bad.

Fujitsu sold to Force10/Dell and did quite well in the US market. Which is completely tangential anything to do with Ubiquity, which never competed in the Fujitsu space, which even you seem to understand (maybe? vaguely?) is a different market. Which they were successful in.

Seriously...do you have a point?
