“WireX Communications, Inc., a web-based supplier of
built-to-spec and highly secure Linux server appliance software,
today announced that it has closed a $3 million round of venture
capital funding. This first round of financing includes investments
by Satwik Management, LLC, Zodiac Venture Fund, and Galaxy Venture
Partners. A consortium of private investors provides the balance of
the funding.”
“Funds from this round of financing will be used to support
WireX’s continuing growth in sales, to increase a national
recruiting effort for top IT talent, and to widen WireX’s library
of available software components from which WireX partners will
build their own Linux server appliances online.”
“WireX has developed a family of products and technologies
that facilitates web-based delivery of built-to-order, highly
secure Linux operating systems for server appliances. At the
heart of each WireX server appliance is Immunix(tm) OS, a standard
Linux distribution hardened with host-survivability technology that
“immunizes” servers against current and future vulnerabilities.
WireX hardens the Linux kernel and key modules and applications,
then optimizes the operating system for server duty. Immunix
technology tools provide three key benefits: host security, high
availability, and system certification verification.
