Earns Top Recognition as an Inc. Honor Roll Honoree

HERNDON, VA – August 20, 2014 – For the fifth consecutive year, Inc. magazine has named CFN Services, a leading provider of high-performance cloud platforms that improve mission-critical application performance, to its annual Inc. 500I5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. With this milestone, CFN Services was recognized as a 2014 Inc. 5000 Honor Roll Honoree, placing it among less than 10 percent of companies that have made it to the list five times. CFN Services joins an impressive group of companies also featured on this year’s Honor Roll, including Otterbox, Telx, Latisys, and Aryaka.

“We are very proud to be recognized for a fifth consecutive year among the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Joining the elite ranks of Inc.’s Honor Roll and being listed as one of the top 100 fastest-growing companies in our segment is evidence of our commitment to build an enduring global telecom and IT company focused on delivering innovative solutions that solve performance challenges for mission-critical IT,” said Mark Casey, President and CEO of CFN Services.

Casey continued, “As we move beyond our early years as a three-time Inc. 500 company, our continued success in driving strong growth as we expand to new industry verticals is a testament to our core technology and our team’s ability.”

The 2014 Inc. 5000 is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $211 billion, generating 505,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

“What surprises me, even though I know it’s coming, is the sheer variety of the paths our entrepreneurs take to success, thematically reflecting how our economy has evolved,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “This year there are far more social media and far fewer computer hardware businesses than there were, say, six years ago. But what doesn’t change is the fearsome creativity unleashed by American entrepreneurship.”
