I just read this from our friends at The Register. I just have one question after reading it
Why?
Why would anyone want to use extremely premium CPU/Memory resources on a high end enterprise storage system to run virtual servers on? What’s the advantage? You could probably buy a mostly populated blade enclosure from almost everyone for the cost of a VMAX controller.
If EMC wants in on the server-based flash market they should just release some products of their own or go buy one of the suppliers out there.
If EMC wants to get in on the server business they should just do it, don’t waste people’s time on this kinda stuff. Stupid.
“virtual mainframe”

We have a EMC SAN to liquidate. Do you know of someone who may be interested?
