How can NetApp respond to Tintri?

Extract NetApp SW from price comparisons

A point emailed to me:

-------------

Yeah but that Tintri price vs. NetApp price doesn't include all the NetApp Software stack - you should remove it and then price it.

Don't get me wrong - NetApp needs a mixed aggregate - they think a mixed aggregate is their Flash (PAM card) and the disks - but a truly Hybrid Array like Tintri is no comparison to a Array like a FAS because 50-60% of the cost is the Software & support.

Like to see the apples to apples vs. the apples to watermelons.
