DataPower®, the leading provider of network hardware for securing XML Web services, announced today that it has extended its leadership as the most decorated XML-aware networking company with two additional finalist award selections. DataPower is a finalist in the 2005 Red Herring Top 100 Private Company awards, which recognizes "the brightest stars in the business universe," and the DataPower XS40 XML Security Gateway(TM) (www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html) has been named a finalist in CMP Media LLC's Network Computing 2005 Well-Connected Awards, expanding DataPower's leadership as the most trusted XML Web services security gateway solution based on real-world tests, certifications and third-party validation.
DataPower was selected as a finalist to Red Herring's Top 100 Private Companies from more than 900 entry nominations in the United States. Finalists will be evaluated to determine the Red Herring 100 that embody innovation, technology, and strategy, and winners will be unveiled at the Red Herring Spring 2005 conference, May 17-19, 2005 in Monterey, CA.
"There were many strong candidates for the Red Herring 100 list this year, so making it onto the list is quite an achievement," said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-chief of Red Herring. "In the post-bubble era, North American technology companies have focused on making sure management is strong and that the business model makes sense."
First eligible to participate for the Well-connected award in 2003, DataPower won the Network Computing Well-Connected Infrastructure Product of the Year award (See: http://www.datapower.com/newsroom/pr_043003_nwc-award.html). Today's announcement marks the third consecutive year that DataPower has been named a finalist in the prestigious Well-Connected Award. It also highlights the DataPower's XS40 XML Security Gateway, which has been named a Well-Connected Award finalist for two consecutive years, as one of the most outstanding products in the networking industry.
"DataPower's selection as a finalist for both the Red Herring award and the third consecutive year for the Well-Connected award are welcomed and continued validation for DataPower as the most trusted XML Web services vendor on the market," Jim Ricotta, CEO and president. "DataPower's continued praise in the XML Web services industry mirrors our market leadership and our XS40 as the most trusted solution for Global 1000 deployments of secure Web services."
