NetApp wakes up. Winter ended a while back.

As we move towards EMC World NetApp's corporate bloggers have re-discovered the publish button like it was some lost relic in an Indiana Jones movie.

There's obviously a marketing campaign coming.

I did like Val's rundown of what he sees as GX competitors, even if it was written to please share holders instead of customers. Which I found somewhat weird though history should show NetApp shouldn't guess which planet the Necromonger army will invade next since they've usually been wrong.

They bought Decru and thought EMC might go after NeoScale. That didn't happen. They bought Spinnaker and have spent the past five years staring at it like it'll magically morph into New Coke..I mean New OnTap.

That's obviously not happening and it's going to require a lot more staring.

But seriously it's good to see some signs of life. Even if they'll go back into hibernation after wards until their next big marketing bowel movement.
