Hats off to EMC for pushing the envelope for CrowdChat app - our plane in hudson moment for our public beta release. Kudos @jburton and team. Our #devops app scaled nicely thanks for driving it hard and fast with such high quality!
EMC is working hard in Lead the industry, a great move could be produce enegy and space saving systems, EMC is working in that line in the huge Storages systems?
@jburton If you have other data to add -- eg social media -- you might. Otherwise no reason. hadoop is a file system for ingestion of large amounts of data, not a database engine.
advantage of RPA and VPLEX is allowing EMC's diverse solutions to talk to each other. Doesn't it make sense just to bring those features natively into the products?
I was thinking in terms of XtremIO as tier 2 with existing EMC disk as Tiers 2/3 with dynamic data movement among them based on the amount of use of the data.
Can you share how is EMC managing the incredible marketing effort to keep all of the different subtopics coordinated for different verticals and regions (tools, processes, etc.)?
ViPR controller will "cloak" both XtremIO and ViPR's storage system and present a consistent set of interfaces northbound to things like VMW and Openstack.
One option is to virutalize with VPLEX, no? but again you're adding yet another layer to be able to move data from one array to another. Starts getting complicated and expensive having to purchase/license everything
@silvestri_73 The problem with replication is almost all of it (natively) is dependent on the hardware architecture (replicating blocks/tracks/objects), which is where it gets tough, hence abstraction.
@chrismevans agreed, but replication at it's heart is within or external to the box. seems odd that the internal replication function of XtremIO is native, whereas the external replication tool is an add on.
@silvestri_73 Could be described as a failure in design, or perhaps a whiteboard feature not yet implemented. Original AFA's weren't good on features! :-)
