Austin, TX – April 15, 2009 – BreakingPoint today reported growth in revenue for the First Quarter of 2009, marking the company’s fourth consecutive quarter with record revenue. BreakingPoint provides network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), server vendors, service providers and government agencies more realistic testing of their network devices in order to accelerate product innovation and development while reducing time-to-test by 50% or more. This combination of benefits is the catalyst for growth and propels BreakingPoint’s vision of establishing truth in testing the performance and security of today’s dynamic network infrastructure.
