XtremIO EOL? Ridiculous.
Disclaimer: I am an EMC - former NetApp - employee!
Like posted in a comment before - have you ever seen a company trashing a market leading technology?
There is overlap - YES. But there is no "one storage to rule them all" and XtremIO was never positioned like that. Every EMC All Flash product has its sweet spot!
What do you think why other vendors have more than one All Flash product?
The ones that tried to make it with one ... Pure Storage, Violin, Cisco, Nimble, I think it doesn't/didn't work out too good.
Obviously this is a competitor campaign during a summer hole to make some noise.
The product roadmap of XtremIO is huge and packed like any other EMC All Flash product! Stay tuned! :-)
