The remainder of the staff working on SmartOS, and the remaining IP like trademarks, and customers and so on, were all bought from Samsung by MNX so they could take it over. They're doing a great job over there with it, and unlike Samsung they actually want it!
From what I learned from Podcasts, they did a massive build-out of datacenters with Joyant technology for internal use as Samsung. But I don't know if that continued. Love to hear from Bryan more on that.
It seems like it has not continued considering the Joyent tech Triton, SmartOS, et al. and engineers have been sold off to MNX.io for future care and feeding.
