Emerging Innovation Awards winner announced

In conjunction with CeBIT Australia 2008, ZDNet Australia has announced Bulletproof Networks' Dedicated VM Hosting platform as the winner of the Emerging Innovation Award.

Chosen from a range of submissions by exhibitors at this year's CeBIT event in Sydney, the Dedicated VM Hosting Platform gained top marks from ZDNet.com.au editors for providing an easily configurable and smoothly scalable environment for an organisation's hosted server requirements.

Entries were judged against criteria which included innovation, return on investment, ease of management and competitive edge.

Three Highly Commended awards were also given out at the evening ceremony in the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, with honours going to NetComm, for its NetAssure managed network service; Fonality's trixbox Pro software-based IP-PABX system; and the Zyxel NBG318S router from Lan1.

This is the second year that ZDNet.com.au has held the Emerging Innovations Awards as part of the annual CeBIT Australia event.
