The only one of these not to work out was Palomino, which failed due to a lack of funding caused by U.K. VCs not appreciating the value of technology companies, he says. (Palomino had one of the world's first functional Fast Ethernet switches.)
We should also mention at this point that Barrall designed what industry benchmarks prove is the world's faster NAS server, by moving all the key protocols into hardware (which is what BlueArc sells). It's really his main contribution to the world of storage networking technology.
The rest of his companies are going great guns, from what we can tell. In between building robots and founding networking companies, Barrall was also responsible for key aspects of the design of the following companies' U.K. networks, among others: GM, BMW, and Rudolf Wolfe, the largest metal exchange in Europe.
Barely old enough to shave, Barrall is clearly on a roll!
