Poor old Pirus Networks. Once the darling of the storage networking startup world, it's now hunkered down so far it can barely be seeing daylight.
Pirus did get in touch with us, eventually, to say it isn't able to announce those customers it promised. "You should get nasty!" a company spokeswoman admits.
"Buying cycles are still slow," she explains. "Companies are not issuing purchase orders. It's all tries and buys." Yadda, yadda, yadda. [Ed. note: Er... not Yotta Yotta Inc.]
We have dropped Pirus down five places to No. 6, a steep and not altogether unexpected fall.
However, the vision of intelligent storage driven from the network was largely pioneered by this company, and that means Pirus remains, at least in spirit, in the upper right quadrant of our heart. [Ed note: Always preferable to the cold, stiff Gartner alternative.]
