As a Clearblue customer, I can confirm that all the Applied Theory stuff 
seems to be gone now from the support pages. (The same functionality is 
there, but the appliedtheory.com URL's have all been changed to 
clearblue.com names)

Some of the stuff looks pretty cool - being able to monitor from a website 
your rack's temperatures, voltages, the datacenter's UPS and generator 
statuses, etc... Unfortunately it's all "coming soon"(unless you're in 
Syracuse), and has been for at least 6 months. Applied Theory was also 
supposed to be doing port, application and server monitoring, which seems 
to overlap with what Navisite offers, so that may have something to do with 
its departure.
