Any discussion is welcome here, as long as it's on-topic -- specifically, related to VMware use cases.
Discussion of any EMC product in a VMware environment fits. General discussion of that EMC product does not, and is more appropriate to a community for that product family.
XtremIO is building all-flash storage array put on virtualization and big data going forward.
An all-flash array means faster performance across both virtualized and big data environments. Combined with EMC’s server-side PCI flash product of Project Lightning, which keeps hot data in an SSD cache sitting alongside the processor, that’s one powerful hardware platform for tomorrow’s applications.
Yes, the other best use case for XtremIO is Database Consolidation. Again, it outperforms the existing infrastructure(not EMC Storage) on Performence, Power Consumption, Space, Storage Administration, Capital Expense and Operational Cost.
XtremIO has developed a new class of enterprise data storage system based entirely on flash media. XtremIO’s approach was not simply to substitute flash in an existing storage controller design or software stack, but rather to engineer an entirely new array from the ground-up to unlock flash’s full performance potential and deliver array-based capabilities that are counterintuitive when thought about in the context of current storage system features and limitations. This approach requires a 100% commitment to flash (or more accurately a storage media that can be accessed randomly without performance penalty) and XtremIO’s products use flash SSDs exclusively.
Due to the pending EMCWorld Anouncement on XtremIO, we really can't go too deep on XtremIO design. However, the whitepaper on XtremIO that Zhaos2 mentioned above can be a good start point to know more why it adds value to EMC
product lines. So far, the best use cases for XtemIO are Database Consolidation and View VDI deployment.

I'm quite interested in knowing how XtremIO differ from Project Thunder and how EMC will preposition these 2 products.

Please refer to the below white paper for detail:

EMC has VNX F series, Full EFD configration. why XtremIO?
