Following up from CEO Mike Phelan's post on SevOne Competing with the Gorillas the interview with Dow Jones Investment Banker has now published. SevOne was featured in the article "When Consolidation Fosters Innovation Among Start-Ups" as one of 'Six Worth Watching.'

During a recent press interview with Dow Jones Investment Banker, we were asked how a dynamic young IT company such as ours can compete and win against the industry gorillas such as HP, IBM, BMC, and CA. The reporter was aware of the standard tactics that large vendors use to maintain a stronghold on customers, such as, negotiating long term license agreements and bundling products together and including their vulnerable products as “free.” 

In August, the SevOne Performance Appliance Solution^TM was awarded “Most Innovative Architecture” by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), in their EMA Radar for Application-Aware Network Performance Management report. This is a great validation of the peer-to-peer architecture of SevOne, which scales linearly by adding additional appliances to a SevOne cluster of performance appliances.

We recently launched an educational video whiteboard series hosted by our CTO, Vess Bakalov. The SevOne whiteboard series is focused on a range of topics of interest to the network performance management community, from collection and using Flexible NetFlow, to efficient high frequency polling.
