ST. LOUIS, MO (Gawkwire.com) Connectria Corporation, a leading provider of world-class managed hosting and IT infrastructure outsourcing solutions, has once again been ranked in the annual Inc. 5000 List of fastest growing private companies in America.

The annual Inc. 5000 includes companies with reported aggregate revenue of $214 billion and median three-year growth of 126 percent. It is the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.

This is a tribute to the entire Connectria community – its customers, partners and employees. We hope to continue this trend over the years to come.”
