Hot semiconductor startup MetaRAM is dead!

I was chatting up with a friend and we were discussing why Cisco’s UCS may or may not be that interesting. I personally think that the Cisco’s UCs is not really much of a breakthrough but merely an evolutiuonary step. Anyways so he pointed out that memory is what can make UCS interesting [for a very cool idea which I obviously would not want to discuss here ;-)], I, in turn, told him that other suppliers do exist such as MetaRAM. But I just heard that MetaRAM has gone belly-up as well.
I too am in talks with many VCs and was telling another associate, where we are at a point of filing a patent around Fabric Computing, that we really need to be VCs/Founders in order to go after this market. There is no way anyone is willing to or does have the nuts to understand the future markets. We are at the brink of defining the future market and we really have to “do it all ourselves!”, I told him.
Anyways here’s MetaRAM’s story:
MetaRAM, which raised an $8 million Series A round in 2006, has ceased operations, according to co-founder and Chief Executive Suresh Rajan. “We’re in the process of shutting down the company,” he said. Rajan declined to discuss the company or total funding. The company’s investors could not immediately be reached for comment.
Founded in 2006, MetaRAM had hired as chief executive Fred Weber, who was chief technology officer of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. from 1995 to 2005. Weber provided big-name credibility to the start-up as it sought to compete against some larger competitors.
Weber is no longer with MetaRAM and Rajan has assumed the chief executive role, Rajan said, declining to discuss when or why Weber left.
