    I love the smell of pay to play early in the morning

    It looks like El Reg compiled the list of vendors who failed to provide free trinkets and junket. It is towards the end of the article.

    Naughty vendors... Need to learn to respect the ANALists...

    reasons to ignores these idiots. They are TOTALLY clueless.

    Get these systems in your labs and test them with REAL workloads. You'll be surprised how crappy some of these systems are.

    Nothing like marketing fluff

    The problem is that merely offering an AFA in part of a hybrid system does not convert the offering into an AFA. Surely none of the major vendors are willing to state what portion of the value of the generically described product is all flash. Remember Pure, even though they were AFA.

    Yawn.

    Being a techno geek, this article was disappointingly business-oriented for me.

    Tintri's exclusion

    Satinder Sharma from Tintri here-

    I just want to clarify here that Tintri's exclusion was because IDC considered arrays that generated revenue in the first half of 2015 (as mentioned in the article). Tintri's AFA was released in the second half. Tintri's AFA is purpose built around Flash & Virtualization and has nothing to do with the reason for exclusion mentioned in the article.

    Thanks

    Remember Pure lying to Gartner about their numbers?

    The only companies you can really trust are the public companies that are bound by legality in disclosing their true numbers. Everything else falls under "wining and dining" Gartner or IDC.
