Company Recognized for Innovation and Leadership in Application Delivery
SAN JOSE, CA.-July 6, 2004 - NetScaler, Inc., a pioneer in application delivery systems, today announced its inclusion in the AlwaysOn (AO) Top 100 Private Companies list. 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. The full list can be found at www.alwayson-network.com.
AlwaysOn and KPMG 1Start identified the 2004 AO100 companies based on their demonstrated leadership and innovation in two key areas: market traction measured by revenue or customer growth, and new approaches and technologies that are likely to cause significant change to existing markets and well-established players.
"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," notes Tony Perkins, AlwaysOn founder.
"We are honored to be recognized by AlwaysOn as one of the most innovative technology companies in the world for the second year in a row," states B.V. Jagadeesh, president and CEO, NetScaler.
