Ted, there seems to be a communication issue here. While we were happy to receive the RFP, the date we received it gave us a nearly no time to respond - less than 2 business days. Even with the information in the RFP, I had a number of questions, especially since the RFP was geared for hiring one person or a company to fly around and administer machines in data centers around the world. You confirmed this via phone. When I contacted you regarding these concerns, you told me to submit questions to you and eventually the proposal. I submitted an email to you with questions right before ApacheCon stating that it would be difficult for me to submit a quote as we pride ourselves on selling customers a solution not just a bunch of servers. I never received a response. Since I loathe pushy sales and figured you were busy, I did not become pesky and follow up. The next thing is I hear about this process is that ASF chose someone another company. To be frank, it was not surprising since Contegix is geared to deliver services in our data center not to numerous data centers around the world. We feel this is the only way to guarantee the levels we believe customers want. I am sorry, but to say we never responded is just plain false especially when you and I talked on the phone, we exchanged emails, I never received a reply from you, and we were given the RFP mere days before the due date.
