The Walking Dead

These old big infrastructure companies are the walking dead. All the old hardware manufacturers with crappy glued together "integrated systems" and appliances and "private clouds". They will die. What will happen is that Amazon or Googlephebet will get their SW and whatever cheapo ultraminimal commodity HW they're using this week into the datacenter. These massively scalable systems will have the same tech that these real cloud/internet companies use in house and will totally annihilate the shoddy super stale ways of EMC, Dell, Oracle, HP. Also, they will actually transparently scale to the cloud without filthy janky interconnects and piles of licensing and infrastructure middleware.The tech of the internet companies is totally superior to that of the infrastructure companies and the brainmine is ridiculously deeper. This comes from someone who has worked in and sold infrastructure for 20 years..

They'll have quite a challenge competing with DDN. I doubt their salesforce knows how to sell into scale out compute environments. I like the concept, and I think it is the future, but I don't think Pure will have a solid hit with this at all. These types of scale out deals take a long time to get off the ground.

This is however, a great validation of the statement "SSD is dead".

Unfortunately vmem does not have a differentiated edge. Once, they did, being the fastest fully fault tolerant storage array on the market. Now, IBM and Fusion/sandisk and HDS have them beat. As a customer I can not think of why I would buy vmem over all of the alternatives that offer comparable latency, IOPs, and datacenter footprint. And if it is my tier 0 and 1 that I am buying for the trust me, I'd buy from a big vendor. Seriously, the Fusion ION or whatever it is called has lower latency. Lame. 3par too. If only there was a real stock play.

Only option is their IP. Perhaps they hold some key patents around asic centric flash interfacing. I do think the market will move away from SSDs cus ssds are stupid. Maybe vmem has valuable ip around that.

Haaaaha ha ha whatever. They already lost the flash race. Unless oracle buys em. Oh wait oracle wants storage to be slow to preserve that license revenue

wowww yayyy Next tape innovation will be a tape flap that flips up in half the time. And a lighter plastic spool that rewinds and fast fowards 5% more quickly. Great job spectra but your company still sucks and hasn't innovated since a a a AIT.
