por que eXtremeIO?
Continued confirmation that the eXtremeIO experiment is all but over. After seeding the market and calling it "revenue" and then forcing a product that was half baked when released and after seeing numerous high profile customers have data loss events that costs millions in lost productivity, the shift to rescue poor disk based VMAX business has them all-in.
Funny now with the Dell merger we see the death of Equallogic, and the repositioning of Compellant as "the SMB Choice", funny I recall Dell spending signficiant time and money to tell us that Compellant was Tier1 Enterprise. How times change.
Unity continues to be the turd in a candy wrapper that VNX always was. Forcing legacy archtectures to meet the needs of todays customer base is a long term losing strategy. Sure they will sell it because EMC sals teams are good at forcing shit products on their customers who are totally locked in, but if I'm Michael Dell, I would start looking for something to address the next 5 years and the shift away from solutions designed in the 80's
