SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 7, 2014) - Guavus, a leading provider of big data analytics solutions, today announced tremendous growth and momentum in 2013. The company saw a surge in new investment, new executive appointments, strategic partners and an extension of its products through company acquisitions and internal development to further its position as the big data analytics leader for timely and better quality business decision making.

Capital Growth, Acquisitions and Partnerships
Investors Goldman Sachs Partners, TransLink Capital, Growth Capital (IGC) and QuestMark Partners together with previous investors Artiman Ventures, Sofinnova Ventures and Intel Capital added $39 million to Guavus in 2013 bringing the total capital raised to $89 million. The new investment has supported Guavus' product enrichment strategies and fueled its pursuit of select company acquisitions to meet the rising global demand for its big data analytics solutions.

"This year's infusion of capital has validated our position and also accelerated our ability to expand our team and product offerings as we continue to build and define the next generation data analytics fabric for enterprises," said Manish Goel, Guavus CEO. "The accomplishments of this past year solidify our leadership with communication service providers and provide the perfect springboard into other enterprise markets."

In 2013, Guavus also entered into key partnerships with Juniper and Procera, in each case joining unique technologies, experiences and expertise to create specifically designed solutions for the CSP industry. "Through Guavus' 'analyze first' approach we have been able to deliver valuable insights into network traffic patterns, providing CSPs with a dynamic solution," said Robert Krohn, senior vice president, Edge Software Business Unit, Juniper Networks.

Product Advancement
Acquisitions of Neuralitic Systems and Pipeline, an Applied Broadband technology, have also solidified Guavus as the big data analytics provider for CSPs and enabled expansion to Multiple System Operators (MSOs). The combination of Neuralitic's mobile marketing analytics applications with Guavus' network analytics applications and the acquisition of Pipeline have improved the customer experience and driven new revenues. Global CSPs are now able to use their data assets more effectively, attaining timely, actionable insights that improve business operations and support data monetization. Furthermore, MSOs now have a comprehensive view of their networks, services, devices and subscribers.

Additionally, due to Guavus' commitment to its technology and customers, Guavus was recognized for its innovative approach to big data applications as the Private Company of the Year in Light Reading's Leading Lights 2013 Award, demonstrating the company's position as the leading provider of big data analytics for the CSP industry.
