Network Magazine Announces 13th Annual Product of the Year Awards SAN FRANCISCO, Apr 17, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Network Magazine, the only monthly magazine to cover computer networks, today announced the winners of its 13th annual Product of the Year Awards. Network Magazine's Product of the Year Awards, are one of the longest running independent product awards in the networking/IT field. Each year they are given to those products that according to Editor-in-Chief, Steve Steinke, "Make a difference to the readers -- the enterprise networking and IT individuals who manage, administer, and support enterprise networks." The selection process is internal with no solicited or unsolicited input from vendors and takes over three months to complete. The editors of the magazine were asked to look within their realms of expertise, Wide Area Networking, Network Infrastructure, Security and Services, and come up with products "that stand out from the surrounding landscape," says Steinke. "These choices were then opened up to scrutiny from the entire group." The number and types of categories have evolved over the years to keep up with changing technology. This year the emergence of the New Public Network as an important entity has produced new categories in the pivotal areas of Carrier Service, Innovative CLEC, Outsourced Management, and Web Hosting. Product of the Year winners had to ship during calendar year 1999 to qualify. That is one reason the awards are so competitive and coveted -- there are no restrictions such as having had to debut at a particular show or having to have been part of a prior review. "As Network Magazines' coverage is designed to help network managers be successful at their jobs it is vital to us that the products and services receiving awards provide a tangible benefit to our readers," says Steinke. Award winners will be featured in the May issue of Network Magazine, which goes out to 200,000 network professionals. The awards themselves will be given out Wednesday May 10th during Networld + Interop, at a reception at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
