Ipswitch, Inc. article
Wow, that was deleted over a year ago and you've just now noticed? Okay... Anyway, to answer your question, all articles must meet the general notability guideline. In this case, it's a company, so it specifically needs to meet WP:CORP. The key part that was missing in your article was: "A company, corporation, organization, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered.  If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability.  Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability.  The source's audience must also be considered; evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability, whereas attention solely by local media is not an indication of notability. Once notability is established, primary sources may be used to verify some of the article's content."
