Info on company

[vass0922]

The organization I work for is looking at a company and they wanted me to do some research on them before doing any business with them so we're not going into it blind.

http://www.egenera.com

How could I find out how to find if they're a stable company or not? They have a timeline on their page, they started out in 2000 so its a pretty new company. I don't believe they are publically traded yet so they don't have to make their financials publically known.

Any ideas?
They're a blade server manufacturer so this isn't 20 bucks we're looking at spending..
And they use linux hehehe

So how can I find out if they're fairly stable and not hitting rock bottom soon?!

Thanks

The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and
Registrars.


The previous information has been obtained either directly from the
registrant or a registrar of the domain name other than VeriSign.
VeriSign, therefore, does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness.


Only thing I could find, sorry,

Well I just sent a quick report to my boss, gave a general idea of the product... unfortunately I think the current OS limitations are probably going to make it crash and burn here anyways . (RH Linux) Unfortunately we're a MS Shop so I don't think we'll be bringing that into the enterprise.
*sigh* such is life lol
Thanks for the help folks, I'll let ya know if I need more info

look at hoovers.com. If you need a log in PM me.

If they have filed with the SEC, you can search their database of filings, EDGAR.
