EMC is following NetApp and Dell in introducing standard “cloud” configurations, and these aren’t vBlocks. Is this an admission that vBlock wasn’t a good idea after all?

VSPEX is different from Vblock’s offered by VCE The Virtual Computing Environment Company and are more along the lines of FlexPod which is a collaboration of NetApp and Cisco with flavors for VMware, Citrix and several other applications/deployments.
