Look at the name above the blog -> HP Enterprise. If any of you are with a true "Enterprise" or large quanty buyer, you would probably already know the answer to the question. But most are SMB individuals who HPE knows are their secondary market. They keep the big boys happy, and if there is something left over that they can make money off of without giving too much away, then they will toss it to the SMB.
If above said HP-SMB then you would have a chance deserving of getting an answer.
And no I am not a loyal HP SMB, I am an pragmatic SMB that has used HP for years when they make a good product, but I leave them as often as they screw me, its a relationship that works like most other business relationships.
And to borrow from the matrix, I will tell you how this will work out.
HP will continue to adhear to "Enterprise" standards and that includes treatment of any individual who is using the equipment, you want support, you give us $$$. No free handouts until you prove that we need you more than you need us.
And that is a good thing for us, because if HP focuses on making themselve efficient, then they will have more resources to spend on bringing Enterprise class items to the SMB market place. We already know from this thread that HPE has employees who care and that is all we can ask for right now.
