Sorry but where did you get this data ?
"HPE has more than 6,000 SimpliVity customers, which puts Cisco's 2,400 HyperFlex ones in context."
I always heard HPE has 6000 simplivity nodes - not customers. AFAIK they have not even reach 2000 customers yet. Had 1300 when were acquired last year.
Any public reference on 6000 customers you can share Chris? Where is this data coming from?
