My bet is what really took the wind out of InfiniDB's sails was Amazon's Redshift. It's new, shiny, ridiculously easy to use, has a strong pedigree and a fairly low initial capital outlay.
Not really. Redshift is nice don't get me wrong, but we did not run into many people that were choosing Redshift over InfiniDB. The major players out there still run everything on premise and behind their firewall.
btw, InfiniDB was originally going to be the backend to Redshift. Lets just say the previous executive team 'screwed that up'
