Re: Another misleading benchmark
It's brilliant marketing for sure. "Ultra-high performance" being touted but your employer only benchmarks the flash portion of the array, assuming we're all naive.
As for HDD's, they are going away and the proof is the huge decline of the 15/10k HDD's. NL-SAS are next, at least for on-prem, where we don't have cloud scale requirements.
I'll give you this, INFINIDAT's marketing has helped to highlight that EMC's mid-range platform isn't the gold standard anymore and, if anything, Unity (can I still call it that?), is lagging behind several other competitive platforms.
