They would be better spending (investing) the money on 2 million more green cabinets for the benefit of those of use who live miles from their current one, it would benefit far more than the 10 m premises and also would increase capacity on the network. if 80% of the population were withing 100 meters of their Green box most could easily run up to 1Gb with fibre to the prem, that should be reserved for those in very rural areas or really need a full 1-10Gb connection.

Reality?
Can't remember a magic quadrant that had any basis in reality or at least my own experience of vendors kit. These are mostly a bunch of rubbish. personally i would put EMC in the bottom left, unless ability to execute is the same as sell lots of kit for lots of money to people who believe buying EMC means they won't get fired (any one remember IBM?) and vision means they reuse any old bit of kit lying around that they can give a new name and re-badge and sell to those self same people.

Two things of note here, first VNX support cost in years four/five generally equate to the price of a new storage system, so would not surprise me if it was not under support agreement as it was a 2012 purchase so 5 years old.
The other thing is, be nice to your tech guys as when the shit really hits the fan they are the only ones that can dig you out of that collapsed mineshaft your management decisions have led the company down.
