September 6, 2006

September 6, 2006, Redmond, WA — The Azaleos OneServer managed e-mail appliance and OneStop Managed Services was named a winner in the 64-bit System category of the 2006 Windows IT Pro Readers' Choice Awards.  Kim Paulsen, Group Publisher of Penton Media's Windows IT Pro, recently announced the winners of the fifth-annual contest.

"Azaleos has always believed in monitoring current and future trends and listening to and responding to the needs of our customers," said Keith McCall, CTO of Azaleos.  "The growth in storage used by corporate e-mail systems has driven requirements for a seamless shift from 32-bit to 64-bit server hardware and with the 64-bit only upcoming release of Microsoft Exchange 2007 Azaleos expects to provide the lowest cost method for customers to migrate to Exchange 2007. Being recognized by the very readers who make up our current and future customer base is a testimony of the dedication and commitment of our development team to deliver solutions that surpass industry standards."

"The 2006 Windows IT Pro  Readers' Choice Awards continue our tradition of honoring products that our readers tell us are most worthy of recognition," said Paulsen. "These are the hardware, software, and services that measure up where it counts most—in the businesses, agencies, and institutions that rely on them to deliver what they promise."

Readers were asked to vote on their product preferences in 12 broad technology categories. More than 5,200 readers chose the best among more than 750 products and services.

"The IT pros who voted in this year's awards are tough, in-the-trenches critics," Paulsen continued. "They demand solid value and performance from the products they use and put those products to the test day after day." Paulsen concluded, "Readers' Choice award winners can feel proud that the products and services they develop have earned the respect and recognition of the IT world's most knowledgeable and exacting professionals."
