Editor has twice removed CSD tag. So here's the AFD: product has no indication of notability, as it started in May 2010. Further, there's a clear conflict of interest here, and the article reads like an advertisement. There are absolutely no third-party references provided in the article. — Timneu22 · talk 15:56, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• First article I've put on Wiki, will leave CSD tag going forward. There are several other articles for similar products on Wiki. I can provide 3rd party links to publications as necessary. Are all company products to be removed from Wiki? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Virtstore (talk • contribs) 16:04, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Article isn't overly promotional -- it closely follows (I'd say "clones") the format of the IBM SAN Volume Controller article in presenting the features and architecture of the device. COI exists and the author should be so warned. If anything, I'd worry about the notability of such a new product, but this, this, this, etc, indicate that the computer press thinks a new virtual storage technology from a major player such as EMC Corporation is probably pretty notable.
