"With a great team and solid product portfolio, I am excited to be a part of KEMP Technologies' continued commitment to providing enterprise-class performance to businesses of any size," said John Becker. "The company achieved tremendous growth in revenues in 2011; the goal is to continue and further develop those gains this year internationally and in the U.S."

"We expect 2012 to be a banner year for KEMP as more and more businesses see the importance of load balancing especially for Microsoft-based applications such as Lync," said Ray Downes, KEMP Technologies president and board member.
