"Finish off" is what HPE seems to do best these days. They've already started to gut Simplivity. HCI was a massive missed opportunity for them, as they had all the parts from the beginning but their combinations never jelled. Storage basically fell apart, attriting down to just 3PAR (lots of nasty internal politics) and then starving that for resources and field support. I expect Nimble to be digested and fall apart in the same fashion with Nimble executives bailing as soon as their clocks run out in a year at best. There will be rejoicing at Dell EMC today.
