SAN MATEO, CA.?May 19, 2009?Appirio (www.appirio.com), a cloud solution provider, has been recognized with five industry accolades in the last two months, including the recent Red Herring 100 award. The company's success in providing professional services and products to accelerate enterprise adoption of the cloud has led to a recent series of industry distinctions and awards including Gartner, Inc.'s "2009 Cool Vendor in Cloud Computing Management and Professional Services," Information Week's "Startup 50" and "Ten Startups to Watch," SIIA CODiE Award and JMP Securities' "2009 Hot 100 Best Privately Held Software Companies."
