Mindteck.
But I don’t know what that means.
They’re based in India. Maybe they bought us or maybe they’re a customer. I’m not sure.

There is an excel doc attached to the first meeting with what appears to be a company based in India but I’m not sure what that means.
There are HR and corporate development folks in both meetings too. I don’t know what that means but yikes.

Instacluster is under Spot. The Spot rebrand to NetApp is coming soon, was delayed for re:Invent.

I doubt it will be sold, but NetApp did ki-l off the momentum of half a dozen successful startups.

There is a reason Spot revenue took at turn after the acquisition. Netapp a storage company tried to take on fancy tech that moves fast and is not their territory. They didn't move fast so now its not innovative. They tried to plug Netapp reps into it but they don't understand it and are even bitter towards it. Just not a right fit.

That would explain the rebranding of Instaclustr away from Spot as "NetApp Instaclustr", would make sense if they wanted to sell off Spot.

SPOT has always been a feature not a solution. Hopefully there's not change to Instaclustr.
