Re: Ai... Sick of their promises
What should a customer expect or see from a performance impact when running these data progression subsets? Was this introduced due to vendor sizing issues and/or inefficiencies of the SAN array?

Dell's new Compellent will make you break down in tiers... of flash

Re: Ai... Sick of their promises
I am very intrigued by Elmars comments, because we heard the almost exact situation from a Dell/Vendor customer reference. They drank the SSD tiering KoolAid, data progression fills their Tier1 disk and performance comes to a halt. The reference account stated "Dell's fluid data architecture...isn't fluid at all". I appreciated the feedback.
I work for a small to medium sized financial institution and we are currently evaluating three leading SAN vendors (Dell Compellent, EMC VNX, NetApp FAS) to replace an aging Dell EqualLogic environment consisting of six mixed arrays.
