Verio placed number 116 in the 14th annual VARBusiness 500 ranking.

The VAR 500 list details the leading revenue producers among technology integrators and technology Solution Provider organizations in North America. The list’s ranking is based on gross worldwide revenue of hardware and software sales, as well as earnings from professional and managed information technology (IT) services.

This is why the VAR 500 is such an important list, because these are the top Solution Providers in the industry, and we salute each of them for their stellar performance,” said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel.

The 2008 VARBusiness 500 list includes 113 new companies with 10.6 percent of them in the Top 100 of the list. In addition, the starting point of the list – the revenue of company number 500 – rose to $33.4 million, up 35.2 percent, from $24.7 million in 2007. This increase reflects the strength and robust growth of the technology reseller Channel.

In February 2008 VARBusiness conducted extensive research and analyzed the data. Independent data sourcing (e.g., SEC filings, annual reports, etc.) also was conducted.
