Appreciate your comment. Obviously you can consider the blog post bias depending on the vendor you work for. Though i heavily believe to take advantage of the most recent technology you do not need to pull down a technology that is working and in production serving data and providing compute resources to the customers. Sure VMAX, XIV, VSP are great technologies, no doubt about it. But does every environment, every customer, every customer that is on the verge of getting out of warranty require the latest and the greatest technology implemented by the end of the quarter, my answer to that is no. Best example i can give you, if you do own a home and do not have energy efficient windows, it doesn't mean that you pull down every window in the house and replace each one of them with an energy efficient window the same time. These projects can happen over time and with budgets. As much as we all love to play and work with the latest gadgets, technology and software, our budgets do not allow us to do that. Obviously this post is not about CDS and its multivendor business, its about showing customers an option to available services in the market place. Again thank you for commenting. Cheers!!! Hello,

You failed to mention the advantages that going with new technology can provide such as virtualization, and auto-tiering. I recommend you take a course on Storage Ecnonomics and maybe then you would understand the real savings corporations benefit from when refreshing to new technology such as VMAX, XIX, and VSP. Your way off on this one !!! I find your posting to be extremely biased based that you are a third party maintenance provider.
