Bitdefender announced today that Business Solutions Version 3.5 received a 2011 Product of the Year award from CRN in the security category. Products on this 3rd annual list were selected based on their ability to offer technological innovation, opportunity, and profitability to solution providers over the 2011 calendar year.

CRN’s distinguished “Products of the Year” list recognizes the most impressive new products of 2011. To determine this year’s list, CRN editors collaborated with the CRN Test Center to evaluate the latest products to enter the market. Judges reviewed hundreds of innovative new products and pared the list down to those products that that added significant value to the end user community while making an immediate impact on the solution provider community. This year’s list featured solutions across all technologies including Cloud Applications, CPU, Data Center, Desktop, Display/Signage, Mobile, Notebook, OS, Security, Server, Storage and Virtualization.

CRN’s Edward F. Moltzen commented “We liked this product’s ability to install anti-virus and security software across the network, even on unmanaged computers where there isn’t an installation of Active Directory. Also: Bitdefender’s approach is two-fer: It’s targeting SMBs with this product but also has begun engaging VARs more aggressively. It’s a good product with channel opportunity.”

This year’s ‘Products of the Year’ list helps our audience cut through all the noise and focus on new technologies that offer new and exciting opportunities, while raising the bar in terms of technical excellence. We congratulate this year’s winners and applaud them for their positive contribution the IT industry.”
