Apparent Networks Named to the 2007 “PULVER 100”

Increasing Demand for AppCritical Helps to Secure Ranking on Pulver 100

Beverly, Massachusetts - March 15, 2007 – Apparent Networks today announced that it has been named to the 2007 “Pulver 100” – which is the IP Communications industry’s premier listing of privately-held growth companies that represent the future of the IP-voice and video communications ecosystem. Apparent Networks has been named to the list due to the increasing demand for its AppCritical network performance software, which provides proactive easy-to-interpret network assessments in record time to manage even the largest of IP networks.

Apparent Networks’ AppCritical is the only network performance software specifically designed to help experts and non-experts alike in solving converged network challenges throughout the life cycle of IP deployments, making network assessment and troubleshooting easy, quick and cost-effective. As the fastest start-to-finish network assessment technology, AppCritical provides actionable information rather than just historical data. Its easy installation allows quick application roll out and its agent-free deployments evaluate network paths across administrative boundaries of IP networks.

“The Pulver 100 is the IP Communications industry’s first and foremost award listing, and it continues to grow in significance, because companies like Apparent Networks continue to increase ease of deployment and IP communications through their solutions,” said Jeff Pulver, Founder and Chairman of Pulvermedia. “We’re proud to name Apparent Networks to this year’s Pulver 100 for its innovative AppCritical network performance software.”

“We are pleased to be recognized by Pulvermedia as a key enabler of IP communications," said Irfhan Rajani, CEO and President, Apparent Networks. "This recognition is further testament to the critical role that network performance plays in VoIP deployment and the need for a reliable network performance solution. We are happy to provide our customers with accurate pre-deployment testing and real-time continuous monitoring and troubleshooting of their network to ensure trouble-free IP communication deployments.”
