VSS Monitoring, the world leader in network intelligence optimisation, announced that it has been selected as one of the 50 Fastest Growing Private Companies in Silicon Valley for 2011, by the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal.
"There are a significant number of corporations upgrading to 10Gbps networks. The network operation and security teams are challenged with proactively gaining access to a multitude of critical data connections.
“With the substantial cost associated with upgrading network monitoring appliances from 1G to 10G, VSS Monitoring has enjoyed increased demand for its easy to integrate network optimisation tools, allowing our customers to protect their investment while achieving total visibility of all their network traffic," said Martin Breslin, CEO of VSS Monitoring. "This recognition as one of the fastest growing companies in the Silicon Valley validates our leadership position in the marketplace and our dedication to lowering customers' total cost of ownership of their networks."
VSS Monitoring experienced an impressive 231.8% growth in revenue in 2010, and earned a number nine ranking in the top 50 at the Fast Private Awards Event, held on 14 October 2011.
In 2011, VSS Monitoring continues to improve network intelligence while reducing capex and opex, and has recently launched vStack Over IP, allowing for network monitoring and security intelligence over the cloud.
