The DS8000 enjoys a position where few competitors play. The only two serious competitors are Dell/EMC and Hitachi.
On the Dell/EMC side, one must wonder about their continued commitment to FICON and large enterprise storage. It seems as if Dell is really driving the low-end/midrange product and the high-investment products (VMax, Isilon, etc.) are suffering.
Hitachi is a great product as well, but the Mainframe/Ficon support isn't as "native" as they'd have you believe.

New Storage for USAA
- Dell EMC ECS (formerly Atmos)
Not sure. I do DBA work, not storage. We use a lot of storage for DBA work but a different team does all storage maintenance.

DS8K for my Enterprise
Other vendors lack many of the mainframe functions provided by DS8k. SInce IBM is the most prominent maninframe vendor support is unmatched.

DS8000 value
I find that I still prefer to recommend the DS8k unless a customer is very committed to EMC, which does sometimes happen. Global Mirror has always been a much stronger replication platform than SRDF/A, capable of maintaining much better RPOs. But it's really the relationship that IBM is able to maintain between z and storage development teams in IBM. The mainframe is a pretty specific environment and it's important to have what IBM brings to the table
