And the winners are...

The SVC Awards recognise the products, projects and services as well as honour companies and teams operating in data centre market space. They encompass the achievements of end-users, channel partners and vendors alike, and in the case of the end-user category awards were also made to the supplier who nominated the winning organisation. A judging panel validated all the entries and approved those that went forward to the voting process.

The organisers received 135 nominations in total and almost 1,300 people voted.
