While HP has excellent technology, it is the integration between the stack in my humble opinion is the key to win the battle and obviously the execution of its Sales and Presales forces on the ground. Sadly... as far as I know within my area, HP has not able to delivered its promise to their customer. Having the best technology does not mean winning but also sales, Presales, delivery and support to function well to really winning the battle.

      yes it does

      Ah but that's mainly because they didn't have a competitive midrange box, but now they do in the Storeserv 7000. Saying the competition has caught up is misleading, and it's also what the competition continue to try and convince Customers of. But like you said, it's all about the integration, and nobody integrates those features as well as 3PAR. With a midrange product offering with all the same highend features their addressable market just got much bigger.
