Not to even talk about migrating data between different arrays. Also, the box is locked for a while when you want to migrate data (in several occasions). Read emc's whitepaper "Best practices for nondisruptive tiering via emc symmetrix virtual lun" and tell me if the above is true or not. Isn't this a bigger problem with tiering, than the fact that in v-max you can currently have bigger ssd's? And with current FAST, I don't see anything dynamic about it.

Next year (2010 some time) EMC will bring FAST for blocks - so individual blocks of a LUN can be moved between tiers. That's the real killer app...

Let hope thats just the factory name though. How about USP V-max :-P
