    Here a small factual correction. The new ETERNUS AF650 all flash-array will not replace the existing ETERNUS DX600 storage system. The ETERNUS DX600 can host SSDs and it is quite often sold as SSDs only configuration, but it can also operate hard disks - so the DX600 is not an all-flash array, it is a so called "hybrid" storage system. As it is most likely that the transiton from hybrid storage systems to all-flash arrays will take several years, the DX600 will stay actively in Fujitsu's portfolio and Fujitsu will invest in product enhancements. In a nutshell: the ETERNUS AF650 is an addtion to the portfolio, not a replacement.
