Mon, March 16, 2009 Avocent Corporation: Avocent's LANDesk Management Suite Named NetworkWorld "Best of the Test"
HUNTSVILLE, AL--(Marketwire - March 16, 2009) - Avocent Corporation (
"Network World's recognition of the LANDesk Management Suite from Avocent further validates that our product technology maintains its lead over the competition," said Ben Grimes, CTO of Avocent. "Systems management is a key component in our continuing commitment to seek innovative ways for our products to improve cost-efficiency and performance across enterprise desktop environments for our customers."
The "Best of the Tests" distinction is awarded annually by Network World to select products in enterprise networking categories that registered the top performance spots in its hands-on testing program. In all, Network World tested and reported on more than a hundred enterprise products in 2008, selecting 13 winners.
"Of the more than 150 products tested by our Lab Alliance members last year, a baker's dozen rises to the top of the list," stated Network World's review panel. "They excel in performance, usability and enterprise feature functionality, LANDesk gave us virtually everything we wanted in a client management product -- and more. Plus, the LANDesk Management Suite's support for diverse platforms was superb."
Each year, Network World taps its 10-member Network World Lab Alliance -- a group of highly qualified industry experts, network integrators, and universities -- to set methodology, conduct testing, and produce reviews. Its year-long testing program culminates with the 'Best of the Tests' Awards. The winning products are profiled in the Network World annual Best Products roundup each February.
