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.
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Joe Polastre on his selection to the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal 40 under 40. In the words of the Business Journal, they “looked for people who were not only successful in their professional lives but gave back to the community in their personal lives.” It is an impressive list of 40 people to watch and we are pleased to see Joe honored. This comes on the heels of his selection as one of BusinessWeek’s Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs of 2009 so it has been a very eventful 2009 already. These awards celebrate Joe’s accomplishments as well as highlight the impact of the work that Sentilla is doing. The release of the Sentilla Energy Manager for Data Centers has generated significant interest and highlights the need for solutions that address the expanding appetite for energy by data centers. We’re excited to see the recognition! Watch this space as we are just getting started! Congratulations Joe!
