Separated at birth?
There have been some interesting discussions lately about storage tiering And just because 3PAR beat most everybody else to the punch this week with our AO announcement, I think it's important to keep things in perspective - storage tiering does not solve everybody's problems. Here is my top 10 list of reasons some people don't want to embrace tiering:
10. Chuck Norris does not need automation, automation needs Chuck Norris.
9. The Chuck Norris of IT, Larry Ellison, says Exadata is the only tier you need.
8. Chuck Norris & Larry Ellison will race to determine if tiering is good or evil.
7. Heard it uses gerbils, which is unfair to guinea pigs.
6. Chuck Norris got to Tom Georgens, he will get to you too.
5. Chuck Norris designed 3PAR's wide striping - who needs tiering?
4. Chuck Norris already tunes my storage in his sleep.
3. Larry Ellison is going to buy all the world's SSDs and corner the market.
2. Waiting to hear if Chuck Norris will discuss tiering this week on InfoSmack.
1. Too busy celebrating Chuck Norris' 70th b-day today to care about tiering.
