This well funded startup is now in beta trials with several large corporations but hangs on to the top spot by the skin of its teeth. Insiders tell us major announcements are on the way early 2002. Pirus Networks has only one way to go… and that’s down, unless we see these orders!

On Fire and Pirus
Maniacs

Nishan Systems Inc. moves two spots – up to number two, having recently swapped out its entire sales team for a bunch of experienced hands from Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO). It also recently secured a $10 million line of credit and is now shipping its IP storage router (see Nishan Secures $10M Debt Financing and Nishan Swaps Out Sales Team).

This company is doing a lot right, but, like Pirus, to keep its position in the top 5 it must start selling some boxes.
