- The Fiction Of MSRP
By Howard Marks
In my 25 years as a consultant, my clients have tended to straddle the mythical line between small/medium businesses and what vendors like to think of as true enterprises. Working both sides of the line that way has made it painfully obvious that the process of figuring out what some piece of kit will cost my client is very different depending on which market the item I'm specing out is targeted to. While an SME customer buying one or two Dell servers expects to pay the price on the Dell website, saving Dell the cost of a sales call, vendors of products targeted for sale to enterprise openly admit that no one pays list price.

- IBM's Spring Storage Announcements
By David Hill
IBM has just made its spring storage-related announcements and, since the company has a very broad and functionally-rich storage portfolio, the enhancements, upgrades, and new products cover a lot of ground. And, unlike Paris spring fashion shows, which are about style, business announcements are about substance, as customers care much more about functionality than they do aesthetics.

- EMC Struck By Lightning
By Howard Marks
While as I discussed in "The Elephant, The Blind Men and Fusion IO" the jury may be out on Fusion IO as a company it's indisputable that putting flash right on the server's PCIe bus keeps latency to a minimum and therefore maximizes application performance. Till now the problem has been that PCIe flash is usually used to emulate wicked fast direct attached storage and that means you have to choose between speed and the flexibility that VMware's vMotion provides. In addition to acting as DAS EMC's new Project Lighting will also act as a cache to shared storage enabling vMotion.
