I saw the MNX announcement the other day and am still confused by it. What did Samsung acquire Joyent for if not the software, or did things simply not pan out and Samsung is now offloading bit?
However, Linux (and containers running on Linux) ate everyone's lunch.
Samsung wanted to enter the Public Cloud Space, ( The kind of business they would be interested in ), but their NAND and DRAM division would suffer order reduction from hyper scalers. In the end they sort of back off this segment of business.
