SAN MATEO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/18/15 -- SIOS Technology Corp. (http://us.sios.com), the leading provider of software products that maximize availability and efficiency of virtualized environments, has been named the bronze winner in the Small or Medium Business Product of the Year category for its SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition software in the Best in Biz Awards 2015 International, the only independent global business awards program judged by members of the press and industry analysts.

SIOS provides a fast, easy way to deploy SQL Server in a high availability environment in the cloud while continuing to use Windows Server Failover Clustering. In the cloud, business-critical applications such as Microsoft SQL Server, need to be protected from downtime if the cloud instance or the cloud provider fails. While most cloud providers offer multiple separate and redundant data centers or computing resources (e.g., Amazon EC2 Availability Zones, Microsoft Azure Fault Domains), they do not offer shared storage which is required to support Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC).

"Simply by adding SIOS DataKeeper Cluster Edition software as an ingredient in any Windows Server Failover Cluster, companies can create a SANless cluster that provides high availability protection in the cloud or other environments where traditional SAN-based clusters are impossible or impractical," said Jerry Melnick, COO, SIOS Technology. "We are proud to be named a recipient of a Best in Biz Awards 2015 International award and recognized for our innovation."

More than 250 public and private companies representing all sectors of the global economy from more than 30 countries competed in Best in Biz Awards' third annual International program. Best in Biz Awards 2015 International honors were presented in a range of categories, including Fastest-Growing Company of the Year, Most Innovative Company of the Year, Support Department of the Year, Enterprise Product of the Year, Best New Version of the Year and Best New Product of the Year.

Best in Biz Awards' uniqueness stems, in part, from the composition of its judging panel. Only writers, journalists, and contributors to business, consumer, financial, trade and technology publications, as well as broadcast outlets and analyst firms, are invited to serve as judges each year. Structured this way, Best in Biz Awards is able to leverage the experience and expertise of an influential group of global opinion makers to determine award winners.

"Having returned as a third time judge, I continue to be amazed with the innovation that companies are achieving. Each year, the competition has been fierce, and narrowing down the choices has been a challenge," said Sharon Bennett, Bennett Business Connections. "In the end, it comes down to the originality of the company and the problems they solve. I congratulate all the entrants for their willingness to share their achievements and I imagine they will all succeed in their sectors."

Winners of Best in Biz Awards 2015 International were determined based on scoring from a panel of 26 judges drawn from top-tier news, business, finance, and technology publications and media outlets from 19 countries, with all continents represented. This year's judging panel included writers and contributors to such publications as ARD (Germany), Asian Power (Singapore), BBC Radio (United Kingdom), Bennett Business Connections (Canada), Business Breakfast (United Arab Emirates), Choice (Australia), Computer Hoy (Spain), CTV (Canada), Gamers Intuition (United States), IAA Magazine (United Arab Emirates), InBusiness (Cyprus and Greece), Irish Independent (Ireland), J Arnold & Associates (Canada), Jerusalem Post (Israel), Kaiser the Sage (Philippines), MediaPost (United States), Radio Ngati Porou (New Zealand), TechHim (India), The Engaging Brand (United Kingdom), Vancouver Sun (Canada), Ventures Africa and Enterprise54.com (Nigeria), Vyapar (India), Wirausaha & Keuangan (Indonesia), WirelessDuniya (India) and Xbox Plus (Brazil).
