SingleHop Named to 2015 CRN Fast Growth 150 List

CHICAGO, Sept. 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SingleHop, a leading provider of on-demand hosted private clouds and managed hosting, today was named to The Channel Company's 2015 CRN® Fast Growth 150 list. Based on gross revenue over the two-year period from 2012 to 2014, The Fast Growth 150 ranks solution providers based in North America with significant economic growth. SingleHop – one of three Chicago-based firms featured – is ranked No. 51 with 79 percent growth.

Earlier this year, SingleHop announced two acquisitions that expanded its infrastructure, cloud-enabled hosting and managed services solutions to new market segments and geographic regions. The firm continues to evolve its product and service offerings, capitalizing on the dramatic global market shift toward hybrid cloud and managed services adoption. In support of this strategy, SingleHop recently announced managed services support for Azure, Microsoft's public cloud offering.

"SingleHop has achieved strong growth by delivering hybrid cloud solutions that meet evolving customer needs in fast-changing markets. Our infrastructure and managed services solutions help today's enterprise IT organizations manage an ever-increasing mix of IT environments to support the success of their businesses," said Zak Boca of SingleHop. "Our channel partners work with us because our capabilities are adaptable to the needs of customers, and are all backed by a service-first philosophy, leading automation and an impeccable SLA."

Today's announcement continues a string of major developments and accolades for SingleHop. Earlier this year, CRN named SingleHop for the third consecutive year to both the Solution Provider 500 and MSP 500, which recognize firms for top revenue generation and managed services and IT consulting in North America. Additionally, SingleHop was one of 19 firms named to the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting by Gartner and was named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private firms for the sixth consecutive year.

Frequently recognized for outstanding leadership, SingleHop co-founders Boca and CMO Dan Ushman were nominated as finalists for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® Midwest in 2015 and 2013.
