Fundamentally Cyclone project is wrong. It's not new or next generation. It's a product with bit and prices from Dell and Emc storage and all project and program managers knew it will fail. It will never be released and/or customers will not buy.
Cyclone will never meet or beat Pure, Nimble, NetApp,HP,IMB or any major player in storage in features. Thousand band aids won't fix the problems.
Companies don't make great products, it's the engineers that work on them. If you are insider you knew everyone managers/engineers who are working and at which sites. Destined to fail product, but enjoy the free pay as long as it lasts.
