This is the time of the year when the Austin-based private companies announce that they had record results in 2007. As private companies they never seem to release actual sales figures (except for Zilliant), but they usually express results as percentages. This week we saw results from Powered and Mirage Networks.

• Powered creates online consumer learning programs for companies such as HP, Epson, Motorola, and Sony. The company claimed a “record year of growth and expansion” but didn’t elaborate further.
• Mirage Networks provided many more details. They announced 219 new deals with 30% quarterly growth for every quarter in 2007. Sixteen of their deals were six-figure deals, which helped to contribute to an inrease in average deal size of 52%. Mirage sells patented network access control solutions.
