It looks like it's been morphed into TED, the TransLattice Elastic
Database. From their FAQ[1]:

TransLattice Elastic Database (TED)

What’s the basis of TED? Did you write it from scratch?

We started TED from PostgreSQL, a very robust, open-source,
ACID-compliant, fully transactional RDBMS and Postgres-R, a PostgreSQL
extension that provides efficient, fast and consistent database
replication . Extensive engineering enhancements allows TED to
maintain ACID semantic transactions while operating in a
geographically distributed cluster.
