vArmour Networks
HQ: Santa Clara, Calif.
Not much is yet known about vArmour (pronounced vee-armor), but the company was founded by veterans from the former NetScreen -- including seven-year Juniper alum Michael Shieh -- on an intriguing proposition: network security to keep up with the demands of network virtualization.
Shieh started the Santa Clara-based company in January 2011, and its otherwise sparse website includes a job listing seeking "the best and the brightest talents in networking and security."
