Virtensys™, Ltd, a leader in next-generation I/O solutions for data centers, today announced that the Virtensys VIO-4000 I/O virtualization switches won the Government Computer News (GCN) Best of FOSE Awards for 2010 in the Networking Equipment category.
I/O Virtualization switch
This awards program recognizes the outstanding and innovative IT products for government that were exhibited during FOSE 2010, which is staged by the 1105 Government Information Group, publisher of GCN.
More than 65 companies submitted a total of nearly 100 new products for consideration during this year’s competition, and only 15 companies were recognized across a broad range of categories. GCN editors and technology analysts reviewed the new products during FOSE show hours and chose the winners based on four criteria: innovation, usability/applicability to government, relative performance based on specifications and value. This award follows the recognition that the company received last week as a “Hot Technologies and Solutions” winner at the Technosium Executive Alliance Forum in San Francisco.
“We are honored to be the recipients of the FOSE award, because it shows the immediate value that our switches bring to IT end users, especially in the government sector,” said Ahmet Houssein, president and CEO at Virtensys. “With our solutions, users can deploy I/O virtualization in a non-disruptive way to simplify their data centers and dramatically reduce costs, power consumption, and management complexity.”
Earlier this year, Virtensys announced a partnership agreement with Promark Technology to distribute its I/O virtualization solutions to government resellers.
