I will ask the hard question. Are you afraid of Pure Storage? They have been making lots of noise saying they are eating EMC lunch? Are they?

Most customers wouldn't consider a dual-controller solution of ANY kind as a true competitor to multi-controller enterprise platform.

Brian Gallagher
It's an apples to oranges comparison.

VMAX3 focuses on the needs of apps with service levels. It focuses on "what" the app needs, not "how" storage accomplishes it.

@FidelmaRusso what has changed the most in provisioning with the moves to the cloud? what should customers focus on when figuring out how to pick right tech?
[-]
Fidelma Russo
customers expect simplicity and agility. pick technology that speaks in the language of the app owner

Yogesh Agrawal
Cloud requires agility and simplified provisioning. With VMAX3, provisioning is very simple and service level driven. Customer needs to specify how much storage they need, at what service level and to what host!
