Topspin Selected For List Of Top 100 Private Companies

Topspin Communications Inc announced its inclusion in the AlwaysOn(AO) Top 100 Private Companies list. The company was selected for its demonstrated leadership and innovation, market traction through continued revenue and customer growth, as well as for delivering technologies that are "likely to cause significant change to existing markets and well-established players."

"We are excited to be recognized by AlwaysOn as a key market influencer," said Krish Ramakrishnan, CEO of Topspin Communications. "Our unique Server Switch technology and VFrame server virtualization software offer our customers a foundation for the first truly open utility computing solution. Coupled with our relationships with all of the major system vendors, including Dell, HP, IBM and Sun, we are poised to revolutionize the way data centers are deployed."

As part of the selection process, AlwaysOn, an open source media company focused on technology and business innovation, and KPMG's emerging business practice, KPMG 1Start, compiled the second-annual AO100 list. The two groups surveyed more than 1,000 venture investors, investment bankers, top entrepreneurs and executives, who nominated more than 700 companies to determine the AO100 winners.

"Private company innovation is incredibly strong and continues to flourish. Over 50 of last year's AO100 companies returned to this year's list and 50 new companies have been selected that are well positioned to significantly contribute to the second-generation of the Internet," noted Tony Perkins, AlwaysOn founder.
