We have come across only two use cases. We are recommending Dell because of the features. We try to convince the customers when meeting with them to move over to Dell as a newer, better solution compared to what they might already have. Of course, this is while we show them the benefits of everything. We clarifying the complexity of usage of other products, and the ease-of-use of the Dell solution. Compared to the other solutions, we basically explain to them why this is a better choice.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate ScaleIO overall at around six to seven. It is closer to a seven.  

Maybe they could support more data types. That way, it would be like setting a gateway to convert any data you want (file or object).
