YottaYotta's funding should last until the company becomes cash-flow positive, Mattioli said, which he anticipates will happen sometime in 2004 depending on how well the company is able to sell NetStorager. But he didn't rule out the possibility of YottaYotta raising additional funding.
Mattioli is still unrepentantly committed to YottaYotta's grandiose vision. "Three years ago, we stood up here and said we wanted to change the paradigm," he said. "That's still our objective: We want to change the world."
We're still skeptical about how many of its storage systems YottaYotta will be able to sell. After all, how many enterprises really need to transfer petabytes of storage among multiple sites? Mattioli notes that the system can start small, starting with as little as half-terabyte at the same level of pricing that an EMC Clariion array would cost.
In any case, after a long wait, YottaYotta's now going to have a chance to back up its words.
