SANpulse Grows Revenue 280% in 1H10

SANpulse Technologies, Inc. revenues grew 280% in the first and second quarters of 2010 compared against the same time period in 2009.

This growth results from continued Fortune 500 enterprise adoption of the company’s SANlogics solution to simplify and automate storage migration and data center consolidation. In response to this growth, SANpulse has expanded U.S. operations, grown its management team with seasoned technology veterans and advanced its technology platform.

"We are embarking upon a major growth trajectory fueled by our innovative, multi-vendor solution that can meet the increasing demand to simplify and accelerate storage migration, consolidation and infrastructure optimization," said Peter Mehta, CEO of SANpulse.
