So the real question... how good is the product?
Actually the bigger question, the only real one now, is are they a viable company? Rumour is they are on their way to going under. Like Nutanix, unprofitable with no revenue model to kick in.
That explains the presence of the investors.
There to see if there is any future, you think?
Either to make sure that there investment is still viable or to look for more investments.

Not much to mention today from the keynote. Jeff Ma, the MIT student that inspired the movie 21 was here to talk about logic and decision making.

Talking about HCI and saying that the more nodes you add, the cost benefit decreases.
Namely Nutanix, which he named directly.

That's true. The higher the nodes, the lower the cost benefit of HC. What he's not telling you is that it's an inverse cost to risk ratio. Cost benefit goes down as HC gets bigger. But for an IPOD (you are at an IPOD conference) it's the risk that gets higher as the ratio increases. The ONLY thing that makes IPODs cheap at large scale is that they trade protection to save money. You voluntarily take on more risk and less performance in order to cheap out.
IPODs' singular purpose is to "cut corners" at large scale by trading in your protection on cost savings.
