It's been a commodity for decades now. Metrics like price-performance have a long history, but the SnowBricks products fail at them quite dramatically. The difference is hard-sell vs. soft or no-sell.

Not having to buy an appliance and pay for it up front is quite a valuable option. Also the split between processing and storage allows for better archival and scaling strategies.
