What's a "high-NVMe chassis" and what large cloud provider uses Dell gear these days? They long ago killed the C-series line as everyone switched to Quanta (FB et al) or Supermicro (smaller players). The only people buying Dell are enterprises, and they don't buy in C-series volume nor are they price conscious.

- bbulkow 10y agoThe truely humongous buyers, like Amazon / Google / FB, certainly don't buy dell anymore, also don't buy software from people like Aerospike. Medium-size companies ( say, box, or AppLovin, or PayPal ) buy software, have some cost consciousness, and buy Dell. I expect Dell will come out with some chassis closer to what Supermicro has been offering to the market, I also see some defection just like you do. However, that's all speculation.
