WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FiberZone Networks, the leading provider of Automated Fiber Management (AFM) solutions for datacenters and networks, today announced it was selected as one of the Top-100 Red Herring Global award. The award recognizes private companies around the globe that have introduced innovative technologies and ideas in their respective industries.
FiberZone's AFM has been deployed in major data centers in the U.S. and abroad. It automates the last manually-operated element in today's networks – physical fiber connectivity. FiberZone's automation solution curbs operational expenditures, allows cost-effective scaling of fiber connectivity, eliminates cost of downtime due to physical connectivity, and facilitates new innovative service offerings, enabling the transition to mission-critical cloud services.
Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers.
"Choosing the best out of the previous two years was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,100 potential companies to 100 winners. It was an extremely difficult process. FiberZone should be extremely proud of its achievement, as the competition for the Top 100 was fierce. The Top 100 Global are truly the best of the best."
"FiberZone is honored to stand together with Red Herring's Top-100 Global companies," said Yosi Lahad, FiberZone's CEO. "Our AFM fundamentally changes the way fiber infrastructure is managed in data centers and networks around the world, and we plan to significantly scale our global reach in 2012," he added.
