For New Ventures BC 2009 Top 10 finalists Vineyard Networks, 2011 sure has started off right. The Kelowna-based company has been receiving plenty of praise from various corners for their growth potential in 2011 and the quality of their services.

Just four days into the year, Vineyard was honoured by Network World, making their 10 Startups to Watch list for their product, NetCore On Demand. As Network World explains:

Software-as-a-service network management tool makes it easy to troubleshoot problems and monitor network usage performance, even for customers who lack a networking background.

Later in January, Vineyard made the Rocket Builders’ 2011 Ready to Rocket ICT List, reflecting “companies that are best positioned to capitalize on the 2011 technology sector trends that will lead them to faster growth than their peers.” 2011 was Vineyard’s first year on the list.

Their latest accolades came from Info Security Products Guide; Vineyard won the Network Management category at Info Security’s 7th Annual Global Product Excellence Awards. The Excellence Awards honour “excellence in all areas of information security.”
