It is not official. Nimble is not a part of our portfolio, officially. Other companies are also making offers to Nimble, supposedly.
Well, hate to say this sounds like those IT people are knowledgeable in Nimble and 3PAR. They get the edge. Okay, push me I deserve it
funny thing is that a lot of 3PAR folks went to Nimble when they left after 3PAR was bought by HPE... and now they have come full circle and are back at HPE.
There will be no "integration" of Nimble with 3PAR. Nimble will get s---ed into the HPE mother ship just like LeftHand was and then 3PAR was to become part of HPE's storage portfolio. The rock star sales people will probably leave first. It will be a steady stream of good, hardworking folks leaving before even the WFR machine starts up to eliminate redundancies in departments like HR, IT, Finance etc. . Within a couple of years, most of the original Nimble crew and folks that made that company will be gone. How many original 3PAR folks are still with HPE?
I think that some people are going to be WFR from both sides.
