$125k
Would buy you a hell of a lot more than 5.76TB of whitebox flash storage (couple of 2U boxes stuffed with NVMe flash and plenty of RAM, easily) - is their sauce really special enough to justify that cost?
Tintri shrinks its all-flash entry-level to $125K door-opener

£82k for 5TB of AFA is a touch on the expensive side isn't it? I guess thats book price but even with 20 points off, thats gonna be hard for people to swallow.
Additionally i don't understand how that capacity table works.
Effective Capacity of 18TB on AFA runs 1500 VMs
however Effective capacity of 23TB on Hybrid runs 750 vms

The capacity table is probably some combination of capacity and performance.
I can get VMs with larger storage requirements on a hybrid, but there are limits to how many VMs the hybrid can serve from a performance standpoint. Similarly I can got lots and lots of VMs onto AFAs from a performance standpoint, but only if they're smallish.
