REDB's current market cap may be under 75MM, but these type of deals are usually done with a premium. Using 3X sales (which are $3.89 per share, according to Market Guide) = appx. 11-5/8 per share, or $145.6 million. Although I don't think the longer term REDB shareholders would be happy with this. I sure wouldn't.

Can you name some of the other data warehousing companies that fit this price range? SYBS needs help too, but with appx. 80mm share outstanding, it would be too expensive; same for IFMX. Posts #237 & 238 on this thread name REDB's competitors, and none of these fit either.
