June 17, 2011 – SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Enterprise cloud storage service provider Zetta announced today that it is a winner of the Red Herring Top 100 award in recognition of the leading private companies in North America, celebrating the startups' innovations and technologies across their respective industries. The awards were presented in Hollywood, California during a ceremony where 200 finalists were honored and the top 100 received the award.

 

Red Herring's Top 100 North America list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

 

“Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 winners. We believe Zetta embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Zetta should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong.”

 

“This is a great accomplishment for us and I am pleased to see that the industry recognizes the advances in our storage technology,” said Ali Jenab, CEO of Zetta. “It is going to be a great year for Zetta and I am proud with the work that our team has done, as well as the interest we received from customers these past months.”

 

Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in North America.
