2004 Storage Products of the Year winners largely meet many of those goals.

As in past years (2002, 2003) the 2004 Products of the Year awards vividly reflect the innovation in our industry.

And this year's awards prove that larger, older and more established companies don't have a monopoly on innovation.

As always, entrants are judged on six criteria:

  • Innovation
  • Performance
  • Ease of integration into existing environments
  • Manageability
  • Functionality
  • Value

    More than 200 submissions were scrutinized, and the best of that group were judged by a panel of independent experts, storage managers and editors. Products were scored on all of the previously mentioned criteria. Some of the winners were highly innovative; some set new benchmarks for value or another attribute; and some just had a great combination of several qualities. But all represent a new state of the art for storage products.

    Here are your winners
