Xserve’s successor?  Active Storage teases January 31st unveiling

Alex Grossman, CEO of Active Storage has tweeted:

“THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN: www.activestorage.com Fun fun fun…”

Active Storage’s current lineup of products include:
• ACTIVERAID ES: The new standard in affordable RAID storage for Apple professionals
• ACTIVE VIEWER: Exclusive Apple iPhone app for mobile, remote monitoring
• INNERPOOL: Metadata appliance designed specifically for Apple Xsan environments; Active Storage native Apple Mac OS X management suite
• ACTIVE ADMIN: Industry-leading. Native Apple Mac OS X Management Software

Note the common theme: Apple.

Active Storage’s website currently teases:

When Apple announced the January 31, 2011 discontinuation of Xserve back on November 5, 2010, Grossman tweeted that very day, “Xserve EOL – RIP – but when one door closes another opens… “

On November 5, 2010, Grossman also posted an interesting open letter on the Active Storage website. Sleuths and between-the-lines readers, have at it here: Letter from Alex Grossman, Founder and CEO of Active Storage: On news that Apple Xserve is only available to order through January 31, 2011

Curiously, on the day of Apple’s Xserve discontinuation notice, Grossman seemed to have been extraordinarily well-prepared for the news, didn’t he?
