Narus Named a Red Herring 100 Company
Award recognizes 100 private companies in North America that drive the technology industry’s future
Mountain View, Calif., May 11, 2005 – Narus,
Inc., the world’s leading carrier-class IP Platform provider,
today announced that Red Herring has recognized Narus as one
of the most innovative private companies shaping the future of
technology. Narus was named to Red Herring’s list
of the “100 Private Companies in North America,” further
validating the company’s critical role in empowering global
carriers to make optimal business decisions by providing a complete
understanding and transparent view of their networks.
“Five years after the dot-com bubble burst, innovation and entrepreneurship are thriving. The companies on this list are proof,” said Red Herring Editor-in-Chief Joel Dreyfuss.
With the volume of IP network traffic growing exponentially, carriers now require a comprehensive platform from which they can launch new services; secure their networks; monitor, analyze, and monetize network traffic. The Narus solution is key to offering new services such as VoIP and IMS, and is equally important in addressing challenges associated with unmanaged traffic like Skype. Delivering a “total network view,” the Narus IP platform enables real-time capture, analysis and decision making from a single packet to billions of packets across multiple networks. Narus offers a suite of applications across all major functions of an IP network, including security, analysis, monitoring and mediation.
Leading network operators such as AT&T, Korea Telecom and Egypt Telecom use the Narus IP Platform to detect malicious traffic and attacks on their backbone networks everyday. T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, KDDI and KPN, among others, are using the Narus IP Platform to generate billions of dollars of revenue each year.
“We are honored to be selected as a Red Herring 100 company as it recognizes technology innovation, customer adoption and business execution,” said Greg Oslan, president and CEO of Narus. “As the world’s most profitable carriers in the North America, Europe and Asia have moved from survival mode to service differentiation and market share acquisition, they have selected Narus as a key partner to help them manage and secure their IP Networks.”
Red Herring’s lists of private companies are an important part of the magazine’s tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs. Companies like Google and eBay were spotted in their early days by Red Herring editors as those that would change the way we live and work.
Red Herring’s editorial staff rigorously evaluated more than 900 private companies through a careful analysis of financial data and subjective criteria, including quality of management, execution of strategy, and dedication to research and development. Narus CEO Greg Oslan will provide a company overview at Red Herring Spring on May 18th in Monterey, Calif.
