Globix Named to New York ‘Fast 50’ by Deloitte & ToucheNEW YORK – October 10, 2001NEW YORK – October 10, 2001 — Globix Corporation (NASDAQ: GBIX) has been named for the third consecutive year to Deloitte & Touche’s prestigious “Fast 50” Program, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in New York, Westchester and Rockland counties. Globix improved to No. 28 in the ranking, up from No. 41 last year and No. 43 the year before.Rankings are based on five-year percentage revenue growth (1996 – 2000). Winning companies, which impact a broad spectrum of industries, are defying conventional wisdom by consistently expanding their revenues over a substantial period of time.
Globix CEO, Peter L. Herzig, credits the company’s sustained growth to its focus on customer service, innovation and breadth of services. Globix state-of-the-art data centers, high-speed global backbone network, and advanced application services are engineered together to provide businesses with superior performance and cost-efficiency. “When it comes to secure, integrated IT infrastructure solutions such as managed hosting, high-speed connectivity, advanced streaming media, CDN applications and messaging services, Globix is uniquely equipped to provide customers with fully scalable and one-stop solutions,” Mr. Herzig said.
“Through the Fast 50 program, Deloitte & Touche has been honoring the growth of New York’s technology industry for three years,” said Noel Spiegel, managing partner, Deloitte & Touche Technology and Communications Group. “As competition remains tough, Globix has proven the ability to sustain its business, and we are happy to support their efforts by recognizing their achievements and continued growth.”
The increase in Globix revenues of 684 percent over the five-year period of 1996 to 2000 resulted in a No. 28 ranking overall in the Fast 50 for the New York region. The average increase in revenues among companies who made the Fast 50 for this region was 2534 percent.
To qualify for the Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1996 and $1 million in 2000, must be a public or private technology company headquartered in New York City, Westchester and Rockland counties. The Fast 50 defines a “technology company” as a business that produces technology, manufactures a technology product or devotes a high percentage of effort to research and development of technology.
