Equallogic folks are getting free package. Our director told us last week not to worry as equallogic is still selling and making money. We are all sitting idle and not even fixing bugs. Wonder how long the party will last.
July will be ugly.
Not fake news prepare for July.
This is absolutely BS news. Isilon is doing extremely well.
Any news about how many were let go?
Wait we are coming out with Cyclone
Anything in round rock?
All EMC products are obsolete, ancient VMAX, VNX, Unity and Dells SC, EQL.
Project managers and network engineers have apparently already started getting chopped. HR people were chopped a little while back. The scuttlebutt is the entire Seattle office is going to be shuttered.
Are there layoffs currently going on there?
Any and all storage products are in jeopardy @ Dell. If the numbers don't show a double digit increasing revenue stream you can be assured it's a target for cuts, either in people or the entire product line. A customer would have to be crazy to make any investment in legacy Dell or EMC storage products right now, no way to know which one is still going to be a viable product 12 months from now and that's not even considering most of the EMC products are obsolete architecture with too layers of software on top to try and make them look current and still relevant.
Is has or will start?
When you say "massive" what is the projected number? I wonder if the future of the product is in jeapordy.
