FORT LEE, N.J., March 14, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Newly published "Cloning Silicon Valley: the next generation high-tech hotspots," cites web application security company Whale Communications among a select number of high-tech enterprises that are showing others the way to building a global technology business.
Author David Rosenberg's book, published by Pearson Education and Prentice Hall, identifies the locations and enterprises that it says will lead the next generation of technological and business advancement.
U.S.-headquartered Whale Communications, founded in Israel in 1998 where its R&D remains today, is Rosenberg's 'Focus' company in the Israel chapter.
"Start with Whale's core technology ... it didn't originate as a good idea looking for an application; rather it was developed in response to perceived market needs," Rosenberg wrote. "Not every Israeli tech company is on the same fast track."
Whale's suite of products includes the e-Gap Webmail Appliance for secure remote access to Lotus (r) Domino (tm) from IBM(r) and Microsoft(r) Outlook(r) Web Access from any web browser, anytime, anywhere and the e-Gap e-Business System for securing core web-based business applications.
