Byte and Switch: Is the DMX fanfare also a reaffirmation that EMC is a hardware company, as you've made such a big deal about software for the past 18 months?
Tucci: Good pickup. I have reminded everyone of our strategy, and it hasn't changed at all. But today was primarily a hardware day, and that's fine, because as I've said we want 50 percent of our revenues to come from hardware, 30 percent from software, and 20 percent from services.
Byte and Switch: You make a point with the DMX line of reclaiming the hardware mantle with the biggest, fastest box, but you are still trailing Hitachi in terms of maximum capacity. How important is that?
Tucci: Not important at all. Basically, the system can do it today. It's a case of when we want to do it... but we don't talk about futures.
Byte and Switch: Have you lost any deals on this maximum-terabyte capacity question?
