Promise announces Thunderbolt-to-FC link

At NAB yesterday, Promise Technology announced the SANLink Thunderbolt to Fibre Channel adapter. From the press release:

"SANLink will provide a dual 4G Fibre Channel link that can be used to connect to external Fibre Channel storage or to an Xsan network. Each adapter features full duplex FC ports that automatically detect connection speed and can operate independently at 1, 2 or 4Gb/s. SANLink is the perfect companion to connect to the new VTrak x30 Series as well as maintain compatibility with the previous generation VTrak x10 Series."

Bringing Xsan to laptops is great, but what about having Mac Mini Servers to interface to Xsan Volumes?

How is it going to work regarding private vs public network?

The MacBook Pro only has one Ethernet port...

    I have wondered about Apple's USB to Ethernet adaptor they developed for the
    MacBook Air. It it a pretty spiffy item. It would add a second Ethernet port to
    your mac. You could use the built in one for metadata and the adaptor for in-
    house. Anyone tried this?

    Mac mini controllers? This would save the rack space for the people who don't
    want to use mac pros and are on a budget.

    Do you think Thunderbolt's external Fibre Channel storage could be used for third-party databases? What if a company wanted to track their freight auditing in order to keep distribution moving? Is there something here that would allow a plug in to an excel on a central server? Keep in mind it has to be mobile friendly.
