Re: A Lesson in Innovation & Integration

Software development happens on much faster and more incremental cycles than hardware. We're continually working on improving our architecture and it's no secret (All-)Flash is the future.

I suppose the V7000F rebrand is just a lucky coincidence with our latest performance improvements on Distributed Raid 6 in V7.7.1 - it really shines now on SSDs.

Tiering is important for storage virtualisation and we're not gonna give up on that.

The next generation V7000 hardware refresh has just been announced, google V7000 Model 624. V7000F is an All-Flash branding based on this Model.

I do work in SVC and Storwize software development and I can assure you we're a very active team here in Hursley doing several feature releases every year - very far from being 'in maintenance mode'.
