Re: Since When Is This New?

Who's asking for this capability? Anyone asking for a scale-out architecture, aka current EMC, Nimble, IBM customers. They have to have CPU down in the shelf as a target for the NVMe protocol between controller heads and shelf anyway, why wouldn't you use it? Offloading DirectFlash management to the shelf enables more possibility for Purity Run now and scale-out in the future.
