Companies go under, no matter how well intentioned or innovative. It is a reality in a world where there are so many startups. While this can be a good thing in that it meant others were outcompeting the failed company, thus getting better value to customers. On the flip side this leaves customers and employees of a company like Tintri in a lurch. But just because a company didn’t survive doesn’t mean it is valueless.

DDN intends to enhance its portfolio with the purchase of Tintri’s assets. This would give DDN best in class enterprise virtualization, real time analytics and VM automation. DDN is working with Tintri to develop a pathway that not only benefits them with the above technology, but also helps out Tintri’s customers.
