ELSA is almost bankrupt

[ram]

According to http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/tol-07.02.02-002/ and http://www.ftd.de/tm/it/FTD2PDZ6EXC.html?nv=hptn, ELSA, one of Nvidia's launch partners (Gladiac series) and their exclusive distributor in the professional segment, is almost insolvent. Their banks discontinued 7 of 8 loans. ELSA will declar insolvency within three weeks, the article says.

Only good news today I guess

Mmmmm, I wonder where that puts NVIDIA's workstation products if they do go under. I guess one of the other vendors will have to step up to it.

Isn't the entering of NV's workstation business just a question of taking their reference design and signing appropriate deal?

 

[Nessie_lochness]

PrzemKo is right. Elsa only builds the boards and ads some value in the CAD/CAM tools area. If Elsa goes to bankrupt, Nvidia will take care directly of this business (because of the high level of support required by this activity)

i'm pretty sure that elsa don't make boards anymore they just sold them under their name.

IIRC Elsa had a large part in driver development for the workstation cards.

ELSA sold their driver team to Nvidia for a few millions quite some while ago.
