Network security company recognized for continuing growth

FINDLAY, Ohio, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- CentraComm, a leading IT managed security and networking services company, was recently ranked 2,355 by Inc. magazine on its fourth annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. CentraComm also earned Inc. 5000 recognition in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

The Ohio-based company operates throughout the Great Lakes with staff based in Findlay, Toledo, Sandusky, Cleveland, Columbus and Grand Rapids, Michigan.  In addition to multiple years on the INC 5000 list, last year the company was one of only two Ohio companies named to the CRN Fast Growth 100, a national ranking of the fastest growing IT solution providers.

CentraComm is an industry-leading managed service provider originally formed in 2001 as an Internet Service Provider (ISP). The company is growing despite the current challenging economy by serving organizations of all sizes around the globe in a wide variety of industries. CentraComm offers routing-switching-security expertise with seasoned, certified engineers, a strong focus on customer service and best-of-breed products and partnerships.

"Our continuing growth and industry recognition validates our strategy of equipping the brightest minds in network security with the best products and training, allowing us to provide our customers with the most robust, comprehensive and sophisticated network solutions available," said Daniel Bemis, CentraComm's Chief Executive Officer. "Evolving from our ISP roots has put us in a position to offer more customer driven solutions in the emerging areas of Cloud Security building on our SAS infrastructure."

"CentraComm offers the highest levels of protection to our customers at a lower total cost of ownership---our new cloud-based SIEM (security information and event management) offering is the most recent example of our ability to make high performance security affordable," added Bemis.

"The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2006 through 2009. "The leaders of the companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression," said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. "The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs."
