www.glimmerglassnet.com - Glimmerglass, leading provider of Intelligent Optical Switches, announced today that it has expanded sales operations in Europe, North America and Asia, underscoring the Company's strong outlook for continued market strength in these regions.
Glimmerglass has added two new sales directors in North America; telecommunications industry veterans' Carl Nelli and John Donaldson. Glimmerglass also opened
offices in Hong Kong and Berlin, Germany, hiring, respectively, optical and computer industry veteran Alice Kung as director of Asian sales and telecommunications expert Irek Szymanski as European sales director.
"We've experienced significant revenue growth in the past twelve months and anticipate doubling our revenues again this year," said Glimmerglass CEO Robert Lundy. "Our products are in the sweet spot of two major market initiatives: the 'greening' of data centers which benefit by our low power, small footprint all-optical switches; and emerging 'lights out' operations in data and telecommunications central offices which call for the remote, rapid reconfiguration of critical fiber facilities. We've refocused and expanded our sales team in response to demand in these two areas."
Glimmerglass offers a family of intelligent optical switches enabling customers to create, monitor and protect fiber communications paths. With no electrical switching or regeneration, these connections transparently support all data rates and formats, including emerging 40Gb/s line rates.
