I can't say that I'm surprised, and honestly anyone can open source the architecture for a storage array of comparable use. I think the only unique thing here really is the chassis, but there are plenty of whitebox vendors that sell storage chassis. You may not get as many drives in one, but usually the other components in these things are usually pretty cheap minus the storage. I don't really see this being a loss in the community at all, and maybe someone else will get creative and build something better.
