    Back in 2008 Fujitsu has one of the best performing 10Gbps Switches. We were building 40 Gbps packet sniffers at Google (4x 10 Gbps NICs) and needed switches that could do things like mirror traffic across ports at line rate. Fujitsu was way ahead of the pack. I always wondered what held them back from building a meaningful networking business in the US.

        Do you mind elaborating?

        This is the first time ever I am hearing of Fujitsu being involved in any bribing/lobbying controversy in the US (whether as a victim or an offender), and I doubt I am the only user in this thread in this position.

        Unless it is a very well-known controversy, I feel like there is a need for extra context here. I am not even asking for anything of the "proof beyond any reasonable doubt" nature, I simply want to understand what you are trying to reference.

          I wasn’t referencing anything specific, but a general response to how/why many companies can’t or won’t do business in the United States.

            Its a genuinely terrible place to do business, and its full of genuinely terrible people to do business with.

            Oh and Trump made it a bit worse with Tariffs I guess.

            Hope this helps.
