BakBone's president and CEO, Keith Rickard credits the Company's competitive
superiority in areas such as Linux, Network Attached Storage and Disk-to-Disk
backup for BakBone's rapid growth over the last four years.
"We are proud to receive this recognition from Deloitte and equally proud of
the employees who have helped us grow our revenues from $3.2 million to $27
million in the last four years," said Rickard. "BakBone's phenomenal success
is being driven by customers who are eager for innovative data protection
solutions that can be easily deployed to streamline backup and recovery,
improve IT staff efficiencies and reduce costs. BakBone's solutions are
enabling enterprises to do just that, which is why we have been able to attract
more than 9,000 customers worldwide and a network of nearly 250 certified
resellers and integration partners."
"The Deloitte San Diego Technology Fast 50 Rising Star companies have shown the
strength, vision and temerity to succeed despite a very challenging technology
environment," said Helen Adams, partner, Deloitte's Technology, Media and
Telecommunications practice, San Diego. "We applaud the successes of BakBone
Software and acknowledge their place as one of the few to accomplish such a
fast growth rate over the past three years."
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50 Rising Star program, companies must have
had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $1,000,000 in 2003, must
be public or private companies headquartered in North America, and be a
"technology company" defined as owning proprietary technology that contributes
to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues (using other
