» Global Velocity is a Finalist for the 2011 Red Herring Top 100 North America Award
St. Louis, MO – May 18, 2011 – Global Velocity announced today it has been selected as a Finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 North America award, a prestigious list honoring the year’s most promising private technology ventures from the 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.
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 a valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
"This year was very rewarding," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "The global economic situation has abated and there are many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products. We had a very difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Global Velocity 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. We know that the 2011 crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to make an impact."
Global Velocity has developed the GV-2010, a 10Gbps network security solution that combines application firewall, content monitoring and filtering (CMF) and deep packet inspection (DPI) capabilities into a single device.
“The challenge facing cyber security professionals today is not only how to prevent unauthorized access to their networks, but also how to identify and stop sensitive information from leaving their networks in an environment of increasing network complexity and bandwidth requirements,” said Greg Sullivan, chief executive officer of Global Velocity. “Couple this with the fact that current content scanning tools slow down network performance and worker productivity in an economy when all organizations need to maintain optimum efficiency. The GV-2010 provides the high speed, low latency, extremely accurate pattern matching solution that organizations require to protect key assets in today’s fast-moving, interconnected world.”
The GV-2010 enables organizations to enforce their network data policies – within the hardware – by identifying, classifying and controlling massive amounts of information as it moves across the network. The solution alerts network administrators when sensitive data has been compromised externally or internally – regardless of port, file format, protocol or evasive technique utilized. The GV-2010 monitors all applications that are transporting content – from email to social media sites to custom built applications containing mission-critical information.
Finalists for the 2011 edition of the Red Herring 100 North America award are selected based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health. The Finalists are invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring North America Forum in Hollywood, California, June 13-15, 2011. The Top 100 winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony the evening of June 15 at the event.

"“When we spoke with the folks at Global Velocity - the company's corporate headquarters is in Clayton, Mo., with an office in Palo Alto, Calif. - we were impressed with what we termed “DLP on steroids”. This is one hot box … We liked this product and the company for their creative approach to a real problem: deep analysis at very high speeds and reduction of the number of boxes needed to put on our perimeters.”"
