BlueArc is just one example, and arguably they were crushed a lot of other factors. In general, Moore's law works just as well for FPGAs as it does CPUs & ASICs. FPGA expertise is definitely in short supply, but, as an example, with HFT, you see a lot of FPGAs.

I'm struggling to think of other FPGA startups, do you know of any? It seems like if it were the silver bullet that it's often made out to be, then there would be more examples.

  Don't startups need to put physical hardware inside Amazon to make this work ? and if to, that's a tough barrier to crack.

  Pure FPGA plays, I can't think of many, but for example, SeaMicro used FPGA's extensively to get power/costs down.
