WikitipDell's EqualLogic purchase is good news for customersDell customers who are happy with Dell's service and business model will often find that Dell's EqualLogic products are a better fit than the OEMed CLARiiON products from EMC. They should embrace virtualization and with it achieve ease of use and much better application uptime. It makes sense to take advantage of Dell services that combine server and storage virtualization. Although users should be aware that Dell will have achieved a "soft" lock-in on their storage, this should not dissuade them from committing to Dell EqualLogic products. By vertically integrating storage into its operation, Dell will continue to relentlessly drive costs (and prices) down for customers. |
