ION Computer Systems® SR-71 SpeedServer™ Named Product of the Year!

Jan. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- The SR-71 edged out many 2010 products and technologies from cloud computing solutions to the iPad, from security to virtualization.
The CRN Overall product of the year announcement comes on the heals of the 2010 XChange XCellence award, during Everything Channel’s XChange Tech Innovators Conference as Breakthrough Technology Vendor.  ION and its SR-71 SpeedServer™ were also honored as a 2010 Tech Innovator in the Editor's Choice category by Everything Channel’s CRN. Both awards were presented to ION at the November 12, 2010 conference.

“When we initially asked CRN’s Test Labs July of 2010 to evaluate the SR-71 SpeedServer we had no idea that it would gain such accolades from both CRN and the attendee’s of the XChange event; the two awards confirmed that we had something special. Being selected Overall Product of the Year further acknowledged that the product is not only special but has definite sales potential for the channel.” states Paul Scheremeta, ION's Vice President of Marketing.
