  1. Eric,
    Very interesting.
    As hard as I had tried to search wasn’t able to find ANY info re Openvault – when was it commenced, customers, partners, case studies, management, address?
    Nor any info regarding the transaction itself.

    Linkedin says Mark Trudeau is Openvault CEO since 09/2010.
    Under the assumption that ATS is a rather small player with relative humble revenues – one would make an educated guess it is a spin-off – and naturally in the investment landscape the term “investment” attracts far more publicity.
    How much of the green stuff had changed hands is another matter. IMHO the green stuff just swapped pockets. But what do I know.
