      RELDATA's Unified Storage Solutions

      RELDATA Selected as AlwaysOn East Top 100 Winner for Cloud and Infrastructure Technology
      Unified Storage Provider Recognized for Innovation, Market Potential, Commercialization, Stakeholder Value and Media Buzz.

       

      RELDATA Inc. (www.reldata.com), the innovation leader in unified block and file storage solutions over iSCSI, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the AlwaysOn East Top 100 winners. Inclusion in the AlwaysOn East 100 signifies leadership amongst peers and recognition for game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. RELDATA was specially selected for the Cloud and Infrastructure group by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

       

      RELDATA and the AlwaysOn East Top 100 companies will be honored at AlwaysOns Venture Summit East event in Boston on June 21 - 23, 2010, at Harvard Business School. This two-day executive event features high-level debates that highlight the significant economic, political, and technology trends impacting the global growth investor on the East Coast. Now more than ever, staying abreast of market conditions and innovations is crucial to financial success.

       

      "After examining the companies that are on the AOE100 list, its obvious that innovation is not only alive and well on the East Coast, its accelerating in economic power and scope," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "The companies certainly represent some of the highest-growth opportunities in the private company marketplace."

       

      The AlwaysOn East 100 winners were selected from among hundreds of other technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2010 list.
