A Public Beta? They bought XtremIO 2 years ago and have been pouring R&D into it ever since. After the first month of GA it became the #1 AFA in regards to revenue achieved. Sure they are still waiting to integrate compression and replication into the OS but they'll be there soon. Even without that, the architecture they've built this product on (Scale-out vs Scale-up) makes this an easy choice for any company looking into the future vs NTAP, XIV, Pure, etc.
Legacy SAN's filled with SSD don't make it an AFA, as EMC understood when they tried selling their first "AFA" with the VNX-F (VNX with just SSD's). They at least smartened up and bought XtremIO, and are now destroying the likes of Pure and other "AFA" startups with architecture truly built to support all SSD. When is NTAP going to come out with a real AFA?
