VMBlog would like to recognize and congratulate PlateSpin for their recognition as the fourth fastest growing technology company in Canada.  This is certainly a testament to not only their products and team members, but to their CEO, Stephen Pollack.  Mr. Pollack has been living in this virtualization space for quite a while, and he has had the knowledge and expertise to keep his company in the forefront and alive in this ever changing virtualization market. 

Quoting from the Press Release:

Branham Group Inc. today released the 2006 edition of the Branham300 listing of Canada's leading ICT companies, naming PlateSpin as the fourth fastest growing company in Canada. PlateSpin grew over 350% in 2005, adding over 500 customers and doubling the employee base. The report also lists PlateSpin as the second highest Mover and Shaker in the Canadian technology industry.

"Named one of the Top 25 Up and Comers last year, PlateSpin of Toronto has continued to make a name for itself, jumping 62 positions to number 181 overall in the 2006 Branham 300," said Wayne Gudbranson, President and CEO of Branham Group Inc. "PlateSpin is quickly becoming a Canadian success story, demonstrating technology leadership and overcoming many of the pitfalls facing start-ups such as attracting experienced investors, customers and partners."

PlateSpin is headquartered in downtown Toronto and provides products and solutions focused on data center optimization, virtualization, and server consolidation. Now with over 900 customers and 100 partners and resellers worldwide, PlateSpin products and solutions are being used in some of the largest data centers in the world. In late 2005, PlateSpin closed an investment with Insight Venture Partners, a venture capital firm based in New York, N.Y. for Round B financing in the amount of $7.4 million US.

"We are pleased and excited to be recognized again by Branham Group in this way" said Stephen Pollack, PlateSpin CEO. "The fast growth that we have achieved over the past two years is a testament to the rapid change occurring in the data center space along with our market leading products and the efforts of the dedicated team that I have the pleasure to lead. I anticipate that this recognition from Branham Group will continue to aid our recruiting efforts as we continue to search for new members of the PlateSpin Team to help us on this accelerated growth path."
