“Choosing the best out of the previous three years was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,200 potential companies to 200 finalists. Trying to get it down to 100 companies was a task upon itself. Tuxera should be extremely proud of its achievement, the competition was difficult.”

“We are very proud to be recognized one of the world’s top private technology growth companies,” said Mikko Välimäki, Tuxera CEO. “Tuxera’s best-in-class file system solutions are deployed at a growing pace across the globe, including the world’s largest consumer electronics manufacturers.

We look forward to extend our global reach and bring new innovations to the markets in 2011.”

The winners were announced at the conclusion of the Red Herring Global conference in Santa Monica, California after an extensive review of company submissions and their presentations to the editorial team.
