SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - February 4, 2008) - Kazeon Systems, Inc., a leading provider of intelligent eDiscovery solutions, today announced that it has been voted a '2008 Hot Company,' a recognition honored by Network Products Guide, the world's leading publication on technologies and solutions published from Silicon Valley, California.
