Q1 Labs Announces First Half 2009 Performance

Q1 Labs' OEM business soared 237 percent.

79 percent of the company's QRadar family product sales came from new customers, with 21 percent being repeat business from existing accounts.

91 percent of product revenue came by way of Q1 Labs' channel partners, including scores of new customers in EMEA via the company's OEM relationships with Juniper Networks and Enterasys.

Q1 Labs was named by Gartner, Inc. to the Leaders Quadrant of its May 2009 "Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management."

To cope with the increased demand in the broad market for its solutions, Q1 Labs increased its headcount approximately 20 percent, and attracted senior-level sales talent from several well known security companies.

"The experience we have had with Q1 Labs and the company's QRadar solution has met and exceeded all customer expectations," said Louise Cooke, director of vendor development, at Integralis, a global information risk management solutions provider and a Q1 Labs channel partner. "QRadar's total automation, seamless interoperability, and the ability to upgrade from a base solution mean that our customers' requirements are met with a comprehensive, one-vendor solution from Q1 Labs versus a number of different and potentially counter intuitive solutions possible from other vendors."
