What IS up with Wasabi Systems?
April 2009:
http://tech.nifelheim.info/2009/04/whats-up-with-wasabi-systems-inc/"Just got off the phone with the former Director of Support Services who worked at Wasabi until July of last year.
Wasabi was indeed a venture capital backed company, and went through a number of rounds of funding.
Recently my contact received a resume from a former employee of his asking about available openings at his current employer. This was a programmer who worked directly on the ip-san kernel.
Also the phone number 757-248-9601 now leads directly to Mr Frank Logans voicemail. Frank is / was the President / CEO of Wasabi.
All points Ive researched show Wasabi to be shuttered.
Anyone have any other clues?"
"It seems they were taken to court (or subpoenad?) recently for patent violation, along with some other storage system vendors:

"The shoe dropped on 3/13. I dont know about senior management, but everyone else had zero notice. On 3/12, Ian E. had no idea. AFAIK all the physical stuff in the office was liquidated, so Wasabis really gone. I dont know what happened to the IP; I think Frank L. was trying to find buyers for it.
Most of the survivors are on linkedin, and many are still looking for work. Im sure at least some of us would be willing to take contract work."
At least this guy's got an impressive resumé:
