Neither of them have the IOPS needed for any kind modern applications. And if you don't have IOPS, you might as well go for a less expensive system that can create the same level of IOPS, with better redundancy using off the shelf drives, that have the same performance capabilities (See BackBlaze for statistics) as the "Enterprise" drives used by Dell, for half the cost.
THE ONLY reason you buy either is for "Enterprise" support. While that may be worth it to you, I personally would rather have more capacity, better redundancy and lower actual costs. And knowing what is in the pipe in the way of drives, my horizon for buying Long Term Storage is about 2-3 years, when we start seeing SSD drives in the 16 TB size with 100K IOPS per drive start showing up, completely displacing spinning drives altogether.
The problem is, most people don't have a proper horizon view of their needs and over spend now, so they don't have to spend later, only to outstrip their own predictions and need replacement storage much sooner than expected. "If you build it, they will come".
Compellent and Equalogic are to of the great examples of Dell buying a competent lineup, and ruining it forever. They are forever a day late, dollar short. There is, however, a class of bosses who value "Enterprise" labels on things, because it removes them from poor decisions. Dell is the new IBM that nobody got fired for buying. And eventually, they will end up like IBM as Just Another IT Services Company. I'll let you decide if that is worth anything in the long run.
Their "enterprise" level support is excellent and the products generally perform as advertised
No. They buy good products, and turn them into bad products with "Enterprise" support, which is enough to keep pointy head bosses happy. You'd be surprise how much leverage "Enterprise" matters to people.
There is a difference between Sports and Games. Sports require athletic abilities, games do not, There are athletic games, just not all games require it.
Here is a novel idea, have one time IDs used for that flight that are not usable for anything else, ever. Consider it a "one time pad" that is used for doing all the needed transactions for that flight (boarding pass).

And no Google doesn't get to decide if they'll be the one to recommend the shop mechanic to fix it. Its not their decision.
Google can recommend. Google can suggest. Google can do lots of things to influence things. Being short sighted is why many geeks fail to see how Google "the search engine" is way bigger than search now (Now called Alphabet).
Most of the data collection does not provide a net benefit for them.
That you know of. I suspect that a lot of data collection on you has benefited you in some way, but in ways you can't even see. MetaData can be a very powerful tool.
Prove what statements? Prove future predictions? I can't, but then again, I don't have to. Neither do I have to GTFO. Nice to have your enlightened thoughts on this topic though. Thank you.
Journalists are pure angels of Democracy! There is no way the would misrepresent ANYTHING! We need to carve out special exemptions of the Free Speech Registration Act.
Eventually, Apple will be gathering all that data too. Because people will demand it. Google on the otherhand is just asking for the data now, so they can provide a more complete diagnostic and failure predictive warnings.

If you can't measure A, B and Z (and everything else) then you can't do predictive failure warnings.
The only solution is to require background checks and licensing of twitter accounts. We also need to make sure that each twitter account user isn't mentally disabled.
I would suggest a typical bell type curve to explain productivity of teams. One has productivity of one. Two people working on the same problem may have a result equal to, greater than, or less than two. And so on and so forth. The issue is that at some point, adding one more person starts removing existing productivity. Once you get to this point, it takes a good team leader to recognize the problem isn't manpower issue, but rather a structural issue.
The problem is, very few project managers understand the diminishing returns of adding additional bodies, let alone the point where adding people actually hurts productivity.
The problem isn't the phones, or the platform, it is that they refused to cut off x86 support and go x64 only... starting with Vista, 7 and Win 8.
By cutting off support for x86, they could have been so much further down the road today. But they are too scared to push people off ancient technology. Which is why so many people are still there.
Guns are an exception. And Liberals don't really oppose guns, they just oppose commoners having them. They are all for guns when it suits them (police, military, elites with body guards etc.
Here's the deal, I'll give up my guns just as soon as the government gives up theirs. Not a moment before.
If anything Slashdot is Libertarian. Pro Liberal social policies, pro conservative fiscal policies, with a fair amount of independent thought.
But I could understand liberals thinking/. is conservative, and conservatives seeing it more liberal.
But case in point, there are both liberals and conservatives that both support or reject it. Bernie Sanders isn't really conservative, but opposes TPP vehemently. As does Trump. Strange bed fellows indeed.
Sorry, I don't oppose TTP because of Obama. I oppose it because it is a secret deal, pre approved by the powers that be, and enough (D) and (R) supported it to make it bi-partisan. If you support it, not knowing anything other than it was "Obama says it will be good" then you are the real fool. I bet you'd oppose it if GWB supported it (all other things considered).
The fact is, the whole (D) good (R) bad (Or visa versa) is really getting old. And do not pretend the (D) don't do the very same thing. Blindly following your party is for Sheeple.
Just claim to want 5 years of experience for something that's only existed for 3.

If the "Buck" doesn't stop at the top, but somewhere down the chain a bit, then the chairman doesn't deserve the pay he is getting. Period.

Nowhere. And if Brocade was smart, they would never sell to Dell. Going to dell is a good way to kill off your company.

Your solution would be then ... RAISE TAXES, RAISE TAXES!
My cumulative tax rate is somewhere between 40 and 60%.
I pay income taxes 25% and 8%
I pay Property Taxes
I pay sales taxes
I pay gasoline taxes
If people realized how much in taxes they were actually paying, they wouldn't revolt. Luckily for the government, they hide taxes so you don't notice.
