Look Out World...Here Comes XIV!

IBM yesterday announced a number of enhancements to its XIV storage platform. You can read about what IBM announced in some detail here from Chris Mellor and here from Tony Pearson.

When IBM announced its acquisition of XIV in late 2007, the Wikibon Peer Incite Meeting on the topic was one of the most well-attended at that point in our history. The reasons were simple:

• XIV is Moshe’s company; and Moshe is a God in the storage business;
• IBM is a potential sleeping giant in storage.
