On the biggest technology trends at EMC: "We've got shorter product cycles and a significant turn of our platforms, about every 12 to 18 months. That's a little more aggressive than in the past... the result of more R&D and architectural consistencies, having the same drivers and software to scale architectures."
Despite all the good will and open-mindedness, it's clear EMC still has its eye on gaining ground in an increasingly competitive space. Steinhardt didn't flinch, for instance, when asked about the growing competition from IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM), as evidenced in IBM's recent announcement of a new low-end storage system (see Son of Shark Emerges): "IBM announced some capabilities they said they'd have in 2003. Now they're available in 2004... They're free to do what they want."
