Springtime Top Ten: Page 3 of 17

Maintaining its position at No. 3 is DataCore Software Corp. It's still pulling in the revenue, and from what we hear it's gearing up to announce another major OEM win. Stay tuned for more on this.

Nishan Systems Inc. slides a couple of places to No. 4, because like Pirus, this startup has been long on promises, short on action. Unlike Pirus, Nishan does have a decent number of paying customers, which we have spoken to, but they just don’t want to talk about it publicly. For this reason, Nishan holds its position in the top five.

Brave new entrants to this list are: Acirro Inc., PolyServe Inc., GlassHouse Technologies Inc., and LeftHand Networks. And hitting the cold, hard floor of the Bit Bucket this time around are SANcastle Technologies Inc., Scale Eight Inc., 3PARdata Inc., and Storigen Systems Inc.
