Thanks for sharing that. Seeing the technology at the company is a valuable step. We did that a my other company as well. In the end, the problem was that the product/technology, while sophisticated, did not provide enough benefit for customers that they would buy it. That was one of the key reasons the company failed.

One question I wish had been asked at the conference call - Why did the company announce that it was not going to get the Sun storage OEM? At the time it was a pretty extraordinary announcement and I, for one, assumed it meant that Brocade had the contract. That may still be the case, but it has certainly taken longer to announce than I had expected. I still don't understand what reasoning made the company feel compelled to announce their failure to secure the contract.
