Turbonomic today announced that it has been named to the Forbes 2017 Cloud 100 list
for the second consecutive year. The Forbes 2017 Cloud 100 is the
definitive list of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world,
published by Forbes in collaboration with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures.
The global data-driven list is evaluated by a panel of judges, which is
made up of a majority of public cloud company CEOs, and selected and
ranked on four factors including market leadership, people and culture,
estimated valuation, and operating metrics.
"More than 1,700 customers trust Turbonomic's hybrid cloud management platform for
their real-time journey to the hybrid cloud," said Benjamin Nye, CEO at
Turbonomic. "It's an honor for our extremely dedicated and talented
team members to, once again, be recognized on the Forbes Cloud 100 list.
Together, we look forward to helping customers ensure that the right
workloads run on the right clouds at the right time."
"Our
inaugural Cloud 100 list showed the tech and venture capital community
just how many standout private cloud companies there are to watch, and
this year's list is no exception," said Forbes' editor of the Cloud 100
list, Alex Konrad. "Forbes has a keen eye for businesses, and combining
that with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures' deep
knowledge of the cloud industry, any company's inclusion on the Forbes
2017 Cloud 100 list is cause to celebrate."
"These
companies are leading the cloud technology revolution," said Byron
Deeter, a top cloud investor and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners.
"The founders and teams behind the Forbes 2017 Cloud 100 companies are
of another caliber and we are beyond excited to celebrate the hard work
and enormous value these companies are creating as they propel the
trillion-dollar software industry forward."
"The
business opportunity for cloud computing is tremendous as the spend on
cloud computing and the rate of adoption continues to grow and advance
the ecosystem," said John Somorjai, EVP Salesforce Ventures and
Corporate Development. "We're thrilled to highlight the potential of
these top-tier private companies in the field and see where they take
their businesses and the economies around the world."
