Award Recognizes Top 100 Private Companies in North America Driving the Technology Industry's Future

CAMPBELL and BELMONT, California, May 11, 2005 - Array Networks, a leading provider of secure application deployment appliances for Global 2000 companies, today was named one of the Red Herring 100 Private Companies in North America by Red Herring Magazine. Array Networks was selected from 200 finalists and from more than 900 total applicants.

“We are thrilled to be named a Red Herring 100 company,” said Michael Zhao, president and CEO, Array Networks. “This award recognizes and validates our strong company growth in new customers, new markets, revenue and new partners. We are honored that our work and growth is recognized by the Red Herring, one of the industry’s leading business publications, with this award.”

“Five years after the dot-com bubble burst, innovation and entrepreneurship are thriving,” said Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief, Red Herring Magazine. “The companies on this list are proof.”

Array will present the company’s business model and technology solutions at the Red Herring Spring 2005 Conference. The awards ceremony will take place on May 17, 2005.

At Interop 2005 last week, Array Networks debuted next-generation versions of the company’s SSL VPN and Application Front End appliance products.

The SPX5000 is a new Enterprise VPN appliance with unsurpassed security, performance and scalability for large-scale enterprise networks. The SPX5000 supports 64,000 concurrent users, 250 VLANs, and 128 virtual sites all within a single appliance. Running the new ArrayOS 7.3 software, the SPX5000 is about 200 percent faster than previous generation of Array SSL VPN appliances and is able to sustain near Gigabit line rate with SSL traffic. This is the first time that an SSL VPN product offers this level of performance and scalability, making the SPX5000 an ideal alternative to replace large IPSec VPN gateways used in large enterprises.

The TMX5000 Application Front End appliance offers high-end performance and scalability at a mid-range price point, and provides a set of flexible features and software bundles that allow customers invest as they grow. The TMX5000 features integrated layer 4-7 load balancing, hardware-based SSL acceleration, high-performance caching and hardware-based lossless compression; and can sustain millions of concurrent connections, securing tens of thousands of SSL transactions while scaling up to 32 units for future growth.
