About
Expand Networks was a privately held company, co-founded by Talmon Marco in 1998; initial financing was provided by Discount Investment Corporation, The Eurocom Group, Ophir Holdings, and a private group of investors, including Memco Software founder Israel Mezin. Additional investors joined in subsequent rounds of funding. The company has raised over $95,000,000 since inception. [citation needed]
Expand Networks global headquarters was situated in Tel-Aviv, Israel with sales presence across the United States and Europe, New Jersey, Australia,[1] China,[2] Singapore, and South Africa.
The company manufactured accelerators in physical,[3] virtual [4] and mobile [5] deployment options.
Liquidation
In mid October 2011, following the requests of Plenus, one of the company's lenders, an Israeli court appointed a liquidator - Mr. Paz Rimer. The liquidator gradually terminated the company's employees [6] and eventually, on 11 January 2012 sold most of the assets of the company to Riverbed Technology, which immediately terminated all the company's products and ceased support.[7]
