    Automated tiering is overrated

    You waste a ton of back-plane bandwidth and IO pushing that data back and forth between layers when usage of objects change. I like the Hadoop path of distributed processing instead of scale up stuff. VMAX is the Unix server of storage with the same issues.

    Tiering is a necessary evil for the next few years.

    VMAX/VNX/Clarion all have their place in storage and with their tiering. FAST, FASTVP, VFCache, etc are all cool tech, and necessary too.

    EMC does have a "hadoop," like storage and that comes in the form of Isilon and Atmos. Each with respective use cases.

    I think you got angry at something EMC did a whiles back and never looked back, all the while EMC has surpassed most big players in the market without you even realizing it with your short-sightedness. Now once the costs of MLC/SLC goes down and reliability up an order of magnitude, we'll have some interesting stuff for storage. But from a general sense, EMC's product line is pretty darn good, if not expensive at times. But no one faults IBM for that, it's just par for the course ;-)
