Why is the crim reading the stolen credit card upside down?

Nutanix looking for a way to burst VMware's bubble

Regarding "but they can't match or outflank the juggernaught that is VMware and VMware's partners' channel."

Agreements don't matter when you play in the channel

Regardless of what Cisco/EMC or Cisco/Netapp agree on from a competition point of view is meaningless as both companies have a very large channel sales model. And in the channel we sell what the solution requires, and couldn't care less what the venders and their swinging d**ks agree to.
