are they out of wheel chair yet?
the termination thing sounds like the joint development is broken. the freestor doesn't seem to bring in any meat except it is a fresh paint over an old outdated ipstor. funny they talked about private cloud. no array or storage san vendors with right minds would like ipstor to drive an enterprise private cloud if that is what underneath freestor. long term they don't look good but short term they might be a buy out target if their fresh painted freestor is fancy, easy to use, and reliable. we'll see what happen in the next one year.
