compellent versus unity versus Pure
I agree !
If you compare SC line (Compellent) versus Unity (or Pure), that's a no brainer :
512k (Data Progression) vs 256MB pages (Fast VP) vs no real tiering (Pure)
auto tiering with different kinds of SSD on SC (SLC, MLC and TLC) , none of this else where
Raid Tiering.
Dedup and Compression available on SC and Pure
Cross product Replication (only on SC)
Multi protocol sync replication (not on Unity, not on Pure)
Cross site mirroring with automatic failover (thanks to port virtualisation)
Almost Unlimited snapshots (being consistent, and not requiring third party....)
I would bet my 10$ they will take the Compellent OS for the next generation machines, and put the EMC marketing on top of it..
Especially, that the new types of ssd comming up (15 up to 60TB) will require very special handling features and the SC line architecture offers way more than any other in that context...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
