I would argue that Chris's comments have been bourne out in the market.

Which will be an interesting dynamic at EMC, since Symmetrix is under the Enterprise Storage Division (ESD), and XtremIO was acquired by the Unified Storage Division (USD). USD is home to VNX and Isilon. There is limited cooperation between the divisions. They simply aren't incentivized to cooperate. “…before the arrival of XtremIO finally puts Symmetrix out to pasture.”

I think we have moved from the initial hype regarding all SSD arrays into a phase where technical details on the implementations are important to help customers which vendors will win and which will fall away. I'll go back over the white paper and be in touch. Regards Chris Shahar, thanks for the comment and offer of more in-depth discussions on the technology.

The WP in the official website can be a good start to find out more. If you like, I will be happy to discuss XtremIO technology with you. Chris, XtremIO technology and system is indeed exceptional.
