maybe someone will actually buy this
I was told a while back that a former Pillar sales rep was brought back to Oracle -- to sell Pillar to internal Oracle users/groups. NOBODY wanted the tech, not even inside Oracle themselves!
On paper this seems ok, but really don't see any reason to give Oracle consideration for serious storage (outside I guess of their engineered systems if I was in the market for such a system). The capabilities of this new system seem like they are playing catch up for the past ~6+ years of being MIA - which is fine, but just means more than anything else the platform is not mature, and won't be for a while.
