Thread regarding EMC Corp. layoffs

ViPR-ViPR SRM

What is the rumor about the rest of the software group? I heard the remaining software (outside of backup) will be gone or only supported. No more R&D.

This product never really worked well, customers in the field had to always restart the collectors and sometime had to re-install from scratch. Customer hated the amount of servers needed and to be honest most of them never even installed it when it was rammed down their throats. Glad this is going away. I hope the customer who paid for it will demand their money back on maintenance.

This is strange after they banged on about how much money is spent on R&D within Dell EMC compared with competitors and what a good thing it was.
