Tom Tabor, publisher of GRIDtoday, announced today at the event that Digipede is recognized with the following honor:

* Editors' Choice Award: Best price-performance MIDDLEWARE solution for a Grid implementation

The GRIDtoday Readers' and Editors' Choice Awards are determined through a survey of thousands of GRIDtoday readers, and will be a permanent annual feature of the publication. GRIDtoday has designated two categories of awards: (1) Readers' Choice, where winners have been determined by a random poll of GRIDtoday readers, and (2) Editors' Choice, where winners have been determined by votes of an advisory group of recognized luminaries, contributors and editors influential in Grid and Service-Oriented IT.

"We are very excited about this opportunity to articulate the views and opinions of our readers to recognize the accomplishments that are being made in advancing the development and adoption of Grid, Service-Oriented IT and virtualization," said Tom Tabor, publisher of GRIDtoday. "These industry recognition awards send a strong message to the recipients that the many global contributors working in or watching this important computing segment recognize their work, and consider their efforts meritorious. Our congratulations go out to all the winners."

"We're honored to be recognized with this Editors' Choice award," said John Powers, CEO of Digipede. "And we're pleased that the grid community sees the importance of price-performance in software solutions as the grid market matures. Digipede and its partners remain committed to bringing our customers the best price-performance grid solutions available."

Grid is being used in fields such as academic research, automotive & aerospace, bio-IT, humanities research, security and defense, financial services, government, manufacturing, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and others.
