Pardon the shameless promotion, but there’s been such great news for Sentilla lately, we just had to share it with you. Sentilla Energy Manager for Data Centers was named a finalist in the American Business Awards last week in the category Best New Software Product of the Year. As part of this award, there’s a subset, the People’s Choice Stevie Awards. People can vote for their favorites here. If interested, there’s still time to cast your vote. Click here to vote. The polls close June 1. Stevie Award winners for both categories will be announced during the annual gala on Monday, June 22, in New York City and on the radio.

This was a pretty big honor, especially coming right on the heels of Sentilla CTO, Joe Polastre, being selected as one of BusinessWeek’s Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs for 2009 and his recognition as one of the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal’s 40 young professionals under the age of 40.
