Re: RIP Compellent/EqualLogic === I dont think so....
" Dell will stop making its own sh*te brands and no one buys and adopt EMC across the board instead."
in fact, everybody buys it. in volume, Dell is the biggest. But margin is much lower.
I think the plan is to take over EMC's customer base, make them happy with software defined storage at much lower prices. running on cheap sh**te from DELL.
High end storage is a shrinking niche, which explains why EMC has a problem, not Dell.
The margins that EMC has, are going to melt away very quickly in the next 5 years, because nobody wants to buy their sh**te again unless they have to for this or that niche purpose, you see.
