Have there been any consequences to marketing leaders from the rebranding disaster, or did GT and LM make Sam Burd take the blame on that one?

It looks he was just the latest casualty.
ScaleIO is obviously PowerScale, right?
Ask what PS stands for you will get five different answers.
That's a naive question: have you ever seen a Dell C-suite or a SVP being held accountable for a wrong choice they've made?
No , instead, they got either a Pro or ProMax bonuses for that 🤣🤣🤣
I think this is referring to the client rebranding. Somehow they found a way to make the names more confusing than they ever were !!
The biggest rebranding disaster was not continuing to use the EMC name in the Data Centers. I have a friend who manages infrastructure for a large regional bank. They view Dell as a company that makes reasonably priced laptops but does not make long term commitments to data centers.
Prefacing all of the enterprise and midlevel equipment as Power(whatever) is not a good strategy for that market.
Which one? There have been many, you must specify the one you are inferring.
