I was shocked to learn this about XtremIO, and so will you
Think of it as a new platform and suddenly this becomes a non-issue.
I bet that nobody would complain if XtremIO delivered this version in 3 years, requiring new hardware: x2 performance, compression, major architecture overhaul, what not to like?
Paradoxically, letting customers preserve their hardware investment while accelerating delivery of major improvements is upsetting to some of the commentators here. But I'm sure no-one here has any ulterior motives, right?
PS apologies for the title - but if buzzfeed, sharable and half a dozen other sharing websites can use misleading bombastic titles to attract readers, why can't I? :-)
