MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Reconnex, the leader in data loss prevention appliances, today announced that it has opened a new product development center in Pune, India, that will focus on developing innovative technology solutions for its product line.

"This is a time of tremendous growth at Reconnex, as we scale up our activities in India," said Kuldeep Sandhu, vice president of engineering at Reconnex. "The top-flight team in India complements our U.S.-based engineering organization and intensifies our focus on developing market-leading products and technologies for the worldwide market. Anand has a history of creating strong software development organizations from scratch, and we anticipate that our India Center will have more than 40 employees within a year."

The Reconnex India team includes 21 engineers with an average of six years of experience, one of the highest in the Indian software industry, and a history of innovation and execution of ideas, with a total of over 100 patent applications. All senior managers and architects have extensive experience in developing enterprise products in the storage, networking, and security domains.

"There's a huge opportunity in protecting corporate information, and Reconnex is poised to become the leader in data loss prevention appliances," said Kekre.
