      That's certainly a possibility. On the other hand, that *might* be a reflection of Enta's history in recent years, not just the state of the MS market in general.

      Entanet was sold off a few years ago.

      Not sure if they still have the two data centres at the site (The Head Office had a Chinese type of building that they was very proud of)

    Fujitsu

    The main factor has to be the loss of the Fujitsu business. They had pretty much bet the family farm on getting into enterprise sales when they got dumped.

    Let me guess, the receiver males a load of redundancies after securing their own fees, tells others they are expected to continue to work but there's no guarantee of their pay by the company telling them to continue working (ie the receiver), and in the meantime all creditors except the receiver just have to hang around waiting for whatever KPMG deems to be the best option, with no comebacks against the receiver if creditors disagree with option / decisions or takes ages to for anything?

    worked for a competor of theirs

    We used to hear complaints about enta back then so its not a major surprise to me... i also know that we started selling Fujitsu servers about the same time they stopped so I can see how that might have had an effect on them too.

    Now I just wonder what my old MD would make of it all.
