PITTSBURGH—MAY 20, 2014 – Avere Systems, a leading provider of enterprise storage for cloud enabled data centers, today announced that it has been selected as a Red Herring Top 100 North America winner for 2014. The award recognizes the leading private companies from North America and celebrates their innovations and technologies across their respective industries.

 

“Avere is thrilled and honored to be recognized among some of the world’s leading technology companies,” said Ron Bianchini, CEO of Avere Systems. “Avere achieved record bookings in 2013, and this recognition validates our efforts to continuously develop solutions that help our customers improve the efficiency and performance of their storage infrastructure.”

 

Winning selections for the 2014 edition of the Red Herring 100 North America award are based upon technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition and financial health.

“In 2014, selecting the top 100 achievers was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “In fact, we had the toughest time in years because so many entrepreneurs had crossed significant milestones so early. But after much thought, rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the top 100 winners. We believe Avere Systems embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture.
