They have sold off their Intellectual Property to TMS and to my knowledge are not in business, the only guy left hanging on by a string was the CFO turned CEO. Probably trying to recoup some of the 100+ million invested. They still have a website but I think that is as far as it goes..... In any event, it was for only Cisco fabrics...Brocade/Mcdata not developed. -Former Incipient Employee. You may want to remove the INSP reference from Incipient.

I don't use the 'evacuate' method however. Instead, I mirror the volumes and let them sit for a while until I feel warm and fuzzy. Then I break off the mirrors from the old array. The main advantage of this method is that I can migrate to larger or smaller sized LUs. I have used Veritas Foundation Suite for years to migrate to new arrays and it has always worked flawlessly.
