As someone well placed at a major storage vendor pointed out to me recently, big box storage arrays are going the way of the dinosaur because a single all flash array can replace multiple disk arrays. And for that reason, the all flash revenue potential isn’t anywhere near that of disk even though solid state storage is a hot market. Add to that the fact that storage software can’t make up the shortfall in revenue from exiting disk arrays either and you have a glum near-term outlook for the well-known big box storage vendors.

To a marketing or sales leader, it means e-commerce channels and social media. To a financial leader, it means data analytics and new payment platforms. So that means digital efforts are either contained within silos, or even exist within their own purpose-built silo.

For most, the process of evaluating and hiring an engineer is something of an inexact art. Companies try to insert their own quantitative measures into the process, but they’re often misguided or not implemented with consistency. I know as I’ve been guilty of this myself.
