I’m a fan of hyperconvergence but I love the way The Register put this:
Now the array vendors would like you to know that they do replication and snapshotting and CDP and all this too – those dang uppity hyper-converged vendors aren’t the be all and end all of storage, young whippersnapper – and if you would kindly put one of their arrays in each of your sites, they will take snapshots and ship them around the world too.
Too funny, and rather true.
