ZettaCom's Rapid Growth Drives Relocation to Larger Silicon Valley Headquarters - New Facility and East Coast Sales Office Will Support Company's Optical Silicon Solution
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of the company's significant business expansion, ZettaCom, Inc., a leading supplier of high-performance and configurable optical silicon solutions, today announced it has doubled its workforce over the last year and relocated its corporate office space by leasing facilities to accommodate the company's continued rapid growth. This major expansion will help the company to meet customer demand for components used in high-speed communications networking systems. All departments have relocated to the new 50,000 square foot corporate headquarters located in Santa Clara at 2055 Laurelwood Road, almost five times the size of the company's previous corporate offices. The larger space has room to establish labs for product development and product qualification as well as space for additional engineering and sales positions to enhance customer support.
ZettaCom's growth is fueled by the continued demand for next generation networking technologies in optical silicon(TM) integrated circuits. Recently infused with $47.5 million in additional funding by venture capital firms including Granite Global Ventures, Venrock Associates, Norwest Venture Partners and Development Bank of Singapore, ZettaCom is well positioned to become a top tier supplier of optical silicon solutions for network system
vendors.
ZettaCom is also pleased to announce the establishment of an East Coast sales and support office located in Westford, Mass., 23 miles northwest of Boston, led by Rob Parda, Eastern Area Sales Manager. Along with its expansion, ZettaCom is attracting exceptional talent to complement a seasoned team of networking communications experts.
"With room to more than double our current staff, we are prepared to support the imminent ramp up in production of ZettaCom's OC-192 Switch Fabric and Traffic Manager (ZEST and ZEN) products to the market," said Daryn Lau, President and CEO of ZettaCom. "The additional space affords the company the opportunity to offer the highest level of service to our customers and meet the strong market demand for our complete optical silicon solution in advance of product shipment this summer."
