AutoVirt software makes it possible for businesses to move data without the usual unpredictability and disruption. AutoVirt can be used as a data migration tool, but can also serve as a permanent platform for managing network-attached storage (NAS) devices and Windows file servers. AutoVirt combines data assessment functionality, a scalable architecture for moving data, and namespace technology for transparent client referrals. By combining discovery and execution capabilities, AutoVirt enhances efficiency and can significantly increase margins on data migrations and storage management projects.

Sponsored by Everything Channel Events, the XChange XCellence Awards measure overall Business and Technology Integrator perceptions of Vendor products, services and programs during an XChange event. XChange attendees evaluate and score each vendor's presentation, message and presence throughout the event, and awards are presented during the XChange XCellence Awards Luncheon.

XChange Tech Innovators is the nation's most unique channel event of the year, bringing together more than 120 pre-qualified decision-making VARs from North America as well as powerful leading and emerging technology vendors.

The XChange XCellence Awards cover 7 key categories, including an Overall Best of Show award. "The XChange XCellence Awards winners are selected by top solution providers at each event and honor the vendors with the most exceptional products, programs and technologies," said Sonja Williams, Program Director, Everything Channel Events. "Congratulations to all of the winning companies. In a field of over 30 participating vendors, they have demonstrated that they deliver high-quality solutions and have many satisfied business partners."

"We are sincerely honored to have been chosen as an XCellence Award winner from such a distinguished field of competitors – all the more so as AutoVirt was chosen not just by the highly knowledgeable experts at Everything Channel, but also by our peers – the VARs and other technology vendors attending the event," said Josh Klein, CEO of AutoVirt. "We believe the award underscores the industry's agreement – particularly VARs and other channel players, that while the movement and management of file data is highly critical, solutions should be easy to deploy and manage, as well as highly affordable. AutoVirt is the only solution on the market today that meets these guidelines."
