Network access control (NAC) provider Bradford Networks announced that sales growth for fiscal 2008 grew more than 80 percent over the same period a year ago.

According to the announcement, Bradford--with clients in education, healthcare, and government, among others--added 120 new accounts to its global base, with new United States customers including Texas A&M and Pepperdine University. The company attributed additional growth to an expansion in its channel partner program, with 23 security VARs and network integrators--both foreign and domestic--added this year.

"Bradford set company records in FY 2008 and we are well positioned to build on this in FY 2009," said MikeGadoury, Bradford Networks founder and CEO, in a prepared statement. "Our proven track record of providing customers with pragmatic solutions to real-world security challenges puts Bradford in a unique position to further accelerate growth in the coming year."

New product launches, including NAC Director Guest Contractor Services, and fully redundant, high-performance appliances designed to address the needs of complex environments, added to the company's strong sales figures. Bradford also closed on $8 million of Series B funding in June; capital the company intends to use to help break into new markets, expand its product portfolio, as well as add additional services and support as it moves into fiscal 2009.
