EMC proposes a number of its software solutions free of charge. In order to use the software are no forms to be completed, the software can simply be downloaded. The free software can be used not only for production purposes.
While in the past, EMC also introduced free software available, when there were a number of forms to be completed and was indicated that the EMC contact the sales department user of the software would record. “We noticed that software was therefore hardly downloaded,” explains Jeremy Burton, president products and marketing at EMC, explains. “There was a new philosophy needed. Although application development is mainly determined by the developer, it was not given the opportunity to test the software, by the way we proposed it available.
By making the software open source, the development community can moreover make a contribution to the product. Burton: “Open source without contribution is equivalent to killing the product. With the development community new features will emerge faster and EMC will also actively participate in the open source community. “
At this time made a number of products from EMC open source, such as ScaleIO and VIPR controller (coprHD) . Burton explains that this is not the case for all software from EMC, because they want to approach this step by step. ‘We will see what the reactions from the development community, and on this basis will be more open source software will be offered in the future.
