I work for Red Hat, where I lead JBoss technical direction and research/development. Prior to this I was SOA Technical Development Manager and Director of Standards. I was Chief Architect and co-founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off (where I was a Distinguished Engineer). I've been working in the area of reliable distributed systems since the mid-80's. My PhD was on fault-tolerant distributed systems, replication and transactions. I'm also a Professor at Newcastle University and Lyon.

That is indeed sad.
They were the Irish company that Could take on the big guys (and they did a damn fine job).
They also had awesome packaging for their software (back when software had packaging) - I still have one or two of their disks with booklets.
Yes, I have at least one of every Orbix release until 2004 in the office. Given that they had a similar university background (spin-off from Dublin) I've always felt a close affinity with them too.
I remember when they first made it really big. The rumour was that certain people were driving round the IONA car park in Ferraris!
