Anagran Closes $12 Million in Series C Financing Round
January 21st, 2008 No comments
Anagran, the leading source for high capacity flow management technology and products, recently announced that the company has closed a Series C round of Venture Capital funding. All of the company’s original venture capital investors participated in this latest round. The company also announced that this financing will be primarily used to expand the company’s sales presence in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
With a simple drop-in complement to any IP network, Anagran increases the power and value of networks while extending the life of router and other networking equipment investments by dynamically allocating virtual capacity by traffic class based on the real-time state of the network. As a result, Anagran’s products provide instant performance, fairness, and capacity gains to ensure that today’s networks deliver the greatest quality and value today and over time — within any existing infrastructure. Companies will frequently see a return on investment in less than six months.
Anagran produces high capacity flow management products which are developed from the ground up for streaming and interactive applications that remove congestion to instantly boost the end-to-end performance and capacity of IP networks. In the past, enterprises and service providers have been forced to purchase more transmission capacity, router ports, and WAN optimization or DPI devices in an attempt to keep up with the growth in network traffic. However, the nature and mix of applications and resulting traffic volume have changed dramatically in just the past few years, with congestion quickly recurring even after purchasing router upgrades and WAN optimization equipment. The common practice of simply buying more networking gear means companies are struggling to economically keep pace with today’s rich mix of streaming and on-demand video, voice, and interactive data.
“Anagran is the only company that can address the urgent economic need for a simple, complementary networking device that enhances the performance of every existing device in the network, whether it’s a router, network optimization box or DPI device,” said Kim Niederman, president and CEO of Anagran. “Our conversations with Fortune 1000 companies have wholeheartedly validated that companies don’t want to rip out existing networks, but they do need to economically scale as their network traffic grows and changes. We allow just that, with a device that can instantly take a standard IP network and transform it into a world-class application delivery platform. This new round allows us to continue to help companies transform their networks.”
Anagran was founded by Internet pioneer Dr. Larry Roberts, recognized as one of the founding fathers of the Internet. Dr. Roberts developed the first computer-to-computer network and led the team that designed and developed ARPANET, the world’s first major computer packet network. He also wrote the first email application and founded the first telecommunications carrier company, Telenet, which was eventually sold to GTE and subsequently became the data division of Sprint. Dr. Roberts leads a respected and seasoned management team for several companies.
Anagran’s flow technology eliminates the potentially crippling effects of traffic congestion to enable video, voice, data and wireless traffic to co-exist and grow with flawless quality over converged IP networks. Anagran’s FR-1000 consistently delivers the highest levels of guaranteed performance and quality in both service provider and enterprise networks, while significantly reducing overall and recurring network costs and energy consumption.
