It is that time of year when The Channel Insider recognizes those vendors who have launched the best of the best in channel products with The Channel Insider Channel Products of the Year Awards for 2008.

Does your product deliver the best in class and provide VARs with margins and services opportunities? Then these are the awards for you.

If you are a VAR, is there a particular vendor’s product that you think deserves to be recognized? If so, you can enter a product on behalf of a vendor.

With the pace of the technology industry and channel moving as quickly as ever, we are keen to keep our awards as up to date as possible. To that end, we have tweaked the categories from our 2007 Awards.
