Active Storage to Offer Xserve Replacement?

Active Storage may be set to offer a replacement for the Xserve which Apple is discontinuing at the end of the month, according to a MacRumors report.

Active Storage has updated its website with a teaser for an apparently new product set to debut on January 31st just as Apple discontinues the Xserve. The teaser image appears to show a rackmountable hardware unit, seemingly in a 2U form factor, covered with a black cloth. While the company has released no other information about the forthcoming product, it does appear as though Active Storage is preparing to fill the void left by the Xserve's discontinuation, quite possibly with Apple's blessing and assistance.

The company was created in 2008 by former Apple employees after Apple discontinued its Xserve RAID offerings.
