Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

OP still wears his EMC polo to the office

Networker continues to thrive no matter how much it gets neglected/ignored by (then EMC) and Dell. Put some actually investment into it and I'd bet we'd see market share taken.

VXRAIL was successful. Would have sold more if they had paid the Ldell engineers to position it. As usual, Ldell and Lemc competed for the same space, instead of putting them on similar comp plans and talking to the customer with consistency.

Nothing wrong with software.

what is this new data path and data control in the cyber resiliency space.

I was involved with VxRail from the beginning. It OWNED that space. HCi as a technology just got a bit long in the tooth.

A word about VxRail

"VxRail is no longer a thing." - MD

Not because it's "no longer a thing" but because we fu---d up the company that built it - VMware. I got my money back before we drove them completely into the ground.

Anything Dell touches turns to cr-p. They’re manufacturing and operations guys. They have no idea about technology or how to use it. It’s embarrassing.

VxRail was actually a big success. At least until Dell dumped VmWare. Who made that colossal mistake?

an internal failure is Jira Align.

I remember working on Viper. Some real whack jobs on that project. Some of those products you mention are still making money, though they are falling behind in market share and probably will become sunsetted or absorbed into something different.

On what planet was VxRail a failure?

You forgot Dell's current baby... MAVERICK. Which is shaping up to be yet another massive failure
