    Over the past few years, Forward Networks has received tremendous industry

    recognition, including "Cool Vendor in Enterprise Networking" by Gartner, "Product of

    the Year" by Cloud Computing, "Enterprise Cloud Computing Software of the Year," and

    The company was founded by four Stanford PhD graduates who saw a massive

    opportunity to improve network operations. Investors include Andreessen Horowitz,

    Threshold Ventures, and Goldman Sachs.
