Infinidat puts array to the test, says it 'wrecks' Pure and EMC systems

Are yo serious? This is so much bullshit. Here is Carmody again writing about nothing. These benchmark is based on 480 drives vs at most 60 flash drive. The data set fits in Infinidat's flash system and it is t sequential IO. The Box only performs with large cache and all 480 drives. If you only need 200TB's then you are screwed. Not so in an AFA.

Todays world is all about performance, IOPS and Bandwidth. This is something that Infinidat can ONLY deliver with a full configuration. Therefore, the $/performance advantage is gone.

No doubt, the world will be all FLASH, make no mistake. Reason that in Europe, Infinidat is dying, same in Asia and Latin America.

Now, with NVMe, AFA's are delivering 5M IOPs with just 60 drives, with latencies under 100us. This benchmark is BULLSHIT...! Infinidat will need to raise more cash to stay afloat and figure out its next steps.
