@dr Funny thing is several of the products you mentioned were doing perfectly fine until Dell bought EMC. Coincidence? I think not. For example, PowerStore's woes are largely self inflicted by Dell's upper management terminating almost the entire dev team in the middle of the product development/design cycle because they didn't meet some arbitrary and unrealistic deadline.
@ey I call B.S. on your B.S. I'm an SE and we've never been able to get it to work without problems in a large environment. We don't even bring it up anymore. I'm guessing you're engineering. Have you ever tried to install that POS PPDM at a customer sight? No.
@et I call BS on that...of course it works...or did the sales folks sell a solution that they had no idea how it works.
Still Dell makes >$100B in revenue.
@ds Not in our region. Our customers threw PPDM out. They could never get it to work.
PPDM is still going strong as is Networker.
@dh You're so full of excuses (cr-p) your eyes are green. Even when ISG was drowning in resources, it couldn't get anything done. Look at the long list of failures over a decade+. But by all means, give us your analysis (excuses) why they all failed.

Good God Almighty, why are my of the leaders who were over these disasters still at Dell? Answer that one.
AI is replacing most of us. Only 1% are exempt.
ISG engineering and product development aren't being given the resources to do their job. Also, trying to sell things where, all of sudden, we are told the company is going down a different path. Then again, it's always been that way. It is just now, with all the cuts and uncertainty, all those past perceived minor issues are now major stumbling blocks.
@df This is exactly what is happening with the Cyber Recovery product. It is slowly dying on the vine.
When are we ever going to cut ISG engineering and product development leadership?
- They never ship anything on time
- We're years behind the competition in every category
- Product quality is terrible
- Products are being sent back
- Customers laugh at our Enterprise offerings
Try selling your own cr-ppy solutions engineering. Let's see how successful you are.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veg-O-Matic. Quick and easy for great cutting
Yes, i've got one on my hand darn it.
not many left for large scale layoffs.
Had a few cuts happen in Penang, Malaysia across different orgs.

Heard 8 in Large Enterprise quit today.
You were not given a spirit of fear.
