Tom Georgens on 3PAR and Integration with Best-of-Breed Partners | VMworld 2010
John Furrier and Dave Vellante sit down in an interview with Tom Georgens at VMWorld 2010. In this segment, Dave Vellante opens up the discussion by bringing up the latest and greatest with what is going on with 3Par; asking Tom for his thoughts on the subject, specifically "What does it mean for NetApp, the whole 3Par, HP, Dell thing?" Tom responds "3Par is about HP and Dell" continuing "as for NetApp, I don't think we have an opinion...3Par is a player in the market, they will remain a player in the market." Tom brings up the subject of price, describing how competition for the same product drives up the demand, in turn, driving up the cost. Tom also mentions NetApps ultimate goal, which is, in his words, "to approximate the integration capability between HP and IBM which will deliver best of breed".
