Untangle Surpasses 100,000 Users

SAN MATEO, Calif. – December 12, 2007 – Untangle, the pioneer in open source network gateway platforms, today announced that it has surpassed the 100,000 users milestone. In under six months, Untangle has quickly become the world’s leading commercial-grade open source gateway solution and is currently deployed in more than 2,000 small to medium-sized organizations worldwide.

“Making open source projects easy to use for small businesses and their service providers is proving to be a winning formula,” said Bob Walters, president and CEO of Untangle. “The proprietary alternatives from SonicWall and other box builders are making less sense every day. When was the last time you heard of somebody downloading a Sonicwall appliance? ‘Free’ is a very tough concept to fight.”
