NetApp HCI: More converged than hyperconverged?

scottalanmiller

Um, what?

So NetApp makes ... .just normal old fashioned unconverged garbage, tells you it is converged and gets you to write an article saying that "what we always had before is more converged than since we converged it"? Did you even read what you were writing as you wrong it? How is this different than every pre-converged architecture out there? Pure and Cisco tried to pull this unprofessional marketing crap at the Pure conference a few weeks ago and it didn't fly there either.

This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen. I'm unclear if this is just technical idiocy or pay to play marketing, but in either case this is a huge problem. If you didn't recognize that you were calling unconverged "converged" then why were you writing about it?

This is just a scale out IPOD. WHo cares? Not even worth an article let alone claiming that the entire industry just changed.
