Artisan Infrastructure Ranked in the 2015 Talkin' Cloud 100 for Accelerated Adoption of Cloud Infrastructure and Solutions

Company Ranks 61 out of 100 in Annual Report Identifying The World's Top Cloud Computing Companies


AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2015) - Artisan Infrastructure, the leading innovator of cloud infrastructure, cloud management and business continuity solutions, today announced that the company has been named to the 2015 Talkin' Cloud 100 list of the World's Top Cloud Computing Companies. The company has earned the position of 61 in the annual review, which is based on data from Talkin' Cloud's online survey, conducted in 2015. This recognition follows a series of wins and successes for Artisan Infrastructure this year -- including recently being named to the 2015 Inc. 500 list of America's Fastest Growing Companies, 2015 CRN Channel Chief Awards and 2015 Talkin' Cloud Top 7 Cloud Service Providers in the Southwest.

The Talkin' Cloud 100 ranks top cloud computing vendors based on data from public documents and survey information, including annual and recurring revenue growth in actual dollars and percentage growth rates. Ratings are based on an internal formula that puts a heavy weighting on recurring cloud revenues.

"Our momentum started in 2014 with the acquisition of Neverfail, a leader in Business Continuity Management (BCM) software. Neverfail, gave us a world-class software development team and strengthened our global operations with 24/7 support coverage," said Brian Hierholzer, Head Cloud Craftsman and CEO of Artisan Infrastructure. "The acquisition allowed us to implement new initiatives with our ecosystem of strategic partners. These initiatives are enabling a wide range of solutions and expanding our wholesale-only cloud services, cloud management, and business continuity offerings. We are pleased to be recognized by Talkin' Cloud for this success, which is a tribute to our technology and the team behind it."

The Talkin' Cloud 100 represents an elite group of global cloud service providers that generated more than $30 billion in cloud services revenue in 2015 -- an increase of 28.6 percent over last year. Artisan Infrastructure has again joined this competitive list of companies. Over the past three years, the Company has grown its organization significantly, achieving 1,433% growth and adding 82 jobs to the economy.

"This year's edition of the TC 100 underscores the flexibility and agility of cloud companies as they help give shape to the rapidly expanding market," said Nicole Henderson, Talkin' Cloud Editor-in-Chief. "We congratulate all of this year's exceptional honorees."
