It seemed pretty promising; I actually gave a thumbs-up doing due diligence for their VC. The company name change was in connection with a recent merger with some kind of middleware/data movement company. But that doesn't change the basics -- it's their own DBMS software, originally built and optimized for certain kinds of analytic queries.
