SVC awards

Voting for the 2013 edition of the Storage Virtualization & Channel Awards (SVC Awards) is now open. The industry has once again showed its broad support for these awards now in their 3rd year with entries received from a broad range of vendors, channel organisations and end-users. The SVC Awards are designed to recognise the products, projects and services as well as honour companies and teams operating in the virtualization and storage fields. The winners will be announced at a gala evening event on the 21st November in London.

Online voting is open until the 7th November at www.svcawards.com

The 2013 awards are spread across 23 categories in three main groups. The technology awards were open to products and solutions that have been available since January 2013 while the end-user projects entered must have been implemented since November 2012. For the end-user awards, prizes will be made to the end-user themselves and either the nominating vendor or supplier instrumental in delivering the project.

The finalists in the respective categories are:
