AUSTIN, TX August 29, 2007 SolarWinds, a leader in network management software, today announced it has been named one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in America by Inc. Magazine. The company was selected for the list based on its three-year revenue growth of 149.9%, with more than $37.6 million in sales in 2006.
SolarWinds growth was largely attributed to the continued adoption of its award-winning network management products, Engineers Toolset and Orion Network Performance Monitor, which are now used by more than 40,000 customers to quickly and efficiently monitor data networks. Also contributing to the companies growth was the expansion of its worldwide distribution channels.
"SolarWinds tremendous growth over the last three years is due to our innovative network management products, intense focus on customer satisfaction, and dedicated employees," said Michael S. Bennett, president and CEO of SolarWinds. "We are honored to be named to the first Inc 5,000 list and plan to continue our success by working with our customers to meet their evolving needs."
The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazines annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy. For more details, please see the full list at: http://www.inc.com/inc5000/index.html
"The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy -- the entrepreneurial part," said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media."
