by Robin Harris | Friday, June 10, 2016 | Architecture, Disk, Enterprise, Marketing, SAN, FC | 7 comments

I feel sorry for EMC’s marketers: they have to make 10-20 year old technology seem au courant. It’s an uphill battle, but that’s why they get the big bucks. The latest effort to perfume the pig – hold still, dammit! – is EMC Unity. In a...
