Vendors advise users about how to frame issues all the time. :) Thanks for dropping in your counter-argument links! Best, CAM Calvin,

Thanks for dropping in your counter-argument links!

In his latest post, he so much as admitted that he was wrong about how he calculated capacity efficiency for the EVA. He then when on to make recommendations on how HP customers should set up their EVA's. I don't know about you but when I'm trying to get the best performance out of my BMW, I don't go visit the Mercedes-Benz website to get info. Now if I only had a BMW. Lastly, HP has posted several responses to Chuck's post on our blog at www.hp.com/storage/blog. We've also issued a challenge to Chuck to have a neutral third party determine who's array is more capacity efficient. I don't expect Chuck and EMC to accept the challenge. The dog has a loud bark but no bite! Thanks What was most interesting about this whole mess was that Chuck tries to come across as an objective industry expert.
