    I am sick and tired of finger-in-the-air futurology, especially by Gartner.

    Why do journalists not go back to thier previous pronouncements and call them out on them?

      It means they don't have a fucking clue what they are on about.However the equally clueless won't like to admit they don't have a clue either, so will start to use this phrase, in order to pretend they know what they are on about when talking to equally clueless people.

      In short, manglement speak.

      Do the products do all you'd want them to, and do they keep bringing out new stuff.

      Most of these offerings are fulfilling the same needs (though in very different ways) which is why there is a vertical line on the right. Teradata is a niche product that's not going to tread on the toes of IBM's Pure, so probably shouldn't be among this lot.

      I can hazard at best a guess, but a somewhat informed one from the KM world. "How many tick marks are marked on Some Gartner ANALyst's Checklist."

    Vision == Technology + Roadmap

    Let's be civil guys. I don't envy the job the Gartner analysts have to create these contentious MQs. Unless you have a better evaluation technique, please don't be so negative.

    Is Gartner confused

    I don't get it. FlexPod has like 3x the market share of VCE yet Gartner ranks them a bit higher. Do customers know something Garter doesn't? <sarcasm>
