CTO is a professor at UNH, Chief Scientist is from UNH and used to work at Virtual Iron which was acquired by Oracle, then he worked at Akiban until they were acquired. It appears some of their patents (http://www.google.com/patents/US20130290243, http://www.google.com/patents/US20130254208, http://www.google.com/patents/US20130226931) were assigned to Cloudtree Inc., which appears to have originally been something totally different but with what seems to be the same team: http://www.boston.com/business/technology/innoeco/2011/02/st...
I'm puzzled.
