MARLBOROUGH, MA – June 22, 2010 – SEPATON, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class disk-based data protection solutions, announced today it has been selected as a Finalist for Red Herring's North America 100 award, a prestigious list honoring the year’s most promising private technology ventures from the world North American business region.

 

The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across North America. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.

 

“Growing data volumes and increasingly complex backup and retention requirements are driving enterprises to rethink their data protection strategies,” said Mike Worhach, president and CEO of SEPATON, Inc. “SEPATON’s intelligent data protection enables companies to meet today’s challenges and begin the evolution to the next-generation of data protection lifecycle management. SEPATON is proud to be named as a finalist to the Red Herring North America 100, underscoring the uniqueness of our DeltaScale™ architecture for the efficient management of information assets.”

 

This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.

 

"This year was especially difficult," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "Despite the global economic situation, there were many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products that we had a difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. SEPATON shows great promise therefore deserves to be among the Finalists. Now we’re faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring North America award. We know that this year’s crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to go far."
