This is game changing in my opinion, this essentially means the virtual machines will be able to leverage the 3PAR for ANY operation – when you throw an ASIC in the mix and our wide striping and you will have a solution that will simply leave the competition for dead in my opinion. Cloud Computing and time to market to provision or to complete day-to-day tasks will become unreal.
At the moment, this is still in development mode so I am limited to what I am allowed to share, but stay tuned folks – seriously this is going to rock.
