Q: what does Brocade think about #redefinepossible? Did EMC bring the Steak to the Sizzle party?
John Furrier
@Chris_Mellor calls EMC Tech overlord - http://www.theregist... where is the brocade piece

EMC rocked it today with new VMAX3 and XtremeIO systems.

@scottshimo Does anyone still think Fibre Channel is dead? :P

@jtarrio there is no way fibre channel is dead but more important in these new engineered systems

EMC storage + Brocade Gen5FC = network performance #redefinepossible #BrocadeRedefined

@chris_mellor besides Hadoop clusters and Flash arrays, I'm curious what other "leading edge" applications you see SAN being deployed right now?
John Furrier
@C_Heckart Christine great to see you on the chat. Awesome just like @jburton; I love this new media interaction
Christine Heckart
thanks John, would love to know your perspective on this question about leading edge apps....it's something i'm thinking about a lot.....SAP's HANA seems to be another hot spot....what do you see?
John Furrier
@C_Heckart I would bet @Chris_mellor didn't write that headline; hey chris can you clarify?
John Furrier
@C_Heckart SAP is hot right now both EMC and HP are doing the alignment with SAP; EMC had Bill McDermott with Joe Tucci on stage so that was huge; plus SAP and EMC have been virtualizing HANA (and SAP) for some time
Christine Heckart
@chris_mellor I don't really mind the headline, it gets attention which is the point, and chris is usually smack-on in his POV, the underlying question is what's the future going to look like and what technologies best support it?
Christine Heckart
@chris_mellor it seems like SAN is attaching to some pretty hot technologies and applications, but i can't tell if this is a trend or just representative of a few companies?
John Furrier
@C_Heckart we love Chris and @mappingbabel

@C_Heckart SAP is betting big on HANA, and customers are looking to rationalize that purchase. EMC has been helping customers do just that. EMC IT just celebrated it's 2 year anniversary since Propel went live.

@jtarrio big fast pipes have their place, but surrounding them are thousands of small drinking straws with different color lipstick... fabrics rule, but strategies !coherent
Scott Shimomura
Clearly there are some workloads suited for in-memory PCIe flash. These still need networks for access and scale-out. These are best suited for our Ethernet Fabric tech.

@DanHushon Well said Dan. Ultimately it's about providing choice to solve customer's challenges in a cost effective way.
