LOS GATOS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/08/13 -- Pertino, a company reinventing networking for the cloud era, today announced that AlwaysOn selected the company as one of the OnDemand Top 100 winners. OnDemand 100 represents emerging leaders that are creating game-changing technologies and disrupting existing markets in the world of cloud infrastructure, software-as-a-service and on-demand computing.

Pertino launched limited availability of its SDN-powered Cloud Network Engine in February. Since then, customers have built over 750 cloud networks using the service and the company secured a $20 million Series B round of venture funding.

"Pertino is honored to be recognized by AlwaysOn as an innovative company for the future," said Craig Elliott, CEO of Pertino. "The cloud has transformed SMB IT and put enterprise-class apps, computing, and storage within reach of businesses of all sizes. Now, Pertino has added networking to that list -- creating an entirely new way to WAN that's build for the cloud era."

Pertino will be honored at the OnDemand executive summit "Where the Internet Meets the Enterprise" on May 20-21, 2013, at Hewlett-Packard's Executive Briefing Center in Palo Alto, Calif. Elliott will be participating in a panel discussion "What is Hot in SaaS" on May 20 from 4:30-5:10 p.m. PT.

"The world of the cloud is beginning to live up to its promise of expanding and enhancing almost every sector of the technology world," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "This year's OnDemand 100 winners represent the companies that are not only providing the space to develop daring, indispensible applications for a growing and increasingly mobile universe, they're making sure that everyone has their information, data, media, and apps whenever and wherever they happen to be."

The OnDemand 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 2013 list. A full list of all the OnDemand 100 winners can be found on the AlwaysOn website.
