3200 Value-Added Services Router Short-Listed in Best Distributed Computing Solution Category
Ottawa , Canada , February 1, 2006 – Solace Systems, the leader in value-added services routing systems, announced today the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) has selected its 3200 Multiservice Message Router as a finalist for the 21st Annual CODiE Awards.
Established in 1986, the CODiE Awards remain the standard-bearer for celebrating outstanding achievement and vision in the software and information industries. Chosen as a finalist from more than 1, 026 nominations submitted by over 500 companies in all categories, the Solace 3200 router has clearly become the solution of choice for application-aware networking.
“We are clearly in the midst of two major market changes, the fundamental relationship between applications and networks and the nature of relationships between enterprises and service providers, ” said Larry Neumann, vice president of marketing for Solace Systems. “This recognition, as finalist in the distributed computing solution category, further validates that Solace’s unique approach to embedding wire-speed application intelligence directly into service provider networks is at the heart of the next wave in communications.”
Solace Systems’ value-added services routing system is a unique platform for the delivery of new application-level services by carriers. The routing system increases network intelligence by making the network content-aware, giving it the ability to understand the information flowing through it. As enterprises embrace service-oriented architecture and consumers look increasingly to personalize data services, having carriers provide services at the application layer becomes a viable and strategic option.
“The 21st Annual CODiE Awards continue the tradition of honoring the best of the software, information and education technology industries, " said Ken Wasch, SIIA president. "When one considers the number of outstanding companies that competed this year, being named a CODiE Awards Finalist is a significant achievement for Solace Systems."
The final round of judging will take place in April with the awards to be presented at a gala event on May 16, 2006 at the Westin St. Francis Hotel, San Francisco, CA.
