Re: That's Funny...
Ah yes but 3PAR did everything that EVA did and much much more it also scaled way above anything EVA could do, It's No1 in its space and can still more than happily compete with any other product out there.
Nimble is a great platform but it simply doesn't have the scalability, feature set or today the enterprise chops to displace 3PAR any time soon. What it does do though is provide 80+% of the features in software at a great price point for the lower end and midrange market. In many ways it's more of an appliance based solution than something like 3PAR which also sits well in that market and if you're happy to cluster multiples you can keep scaling and maintain that investment.
But in all honesty It simply isn't going to displace 3PAR, don't believe me ? get familiar with the architecture of the two platforms and it's obvious where one stops and the other starts, but then again if you did know the technicalities throwing that FUD probably wouldn't be as much fun.
