SoftIron Named a 2024 Tech Innovator by CRN®

San Francisco – July 15, 2024 – SoftIron, the worldwide leader in true private cloud infrastructure, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named SoftIron as a finalist for the 2024 CRN Tech Innovator Awards. SoftIron is being recognized for its HyperCloud product in the Cloud category.

This annual award showcases innovative vendors in the IT channel across 36 distinct technology categories, ranging from cloud to storage to networking to security. The 2024 winners were selected by a panel of CRN editors who reviewed hundreds of vendor entries and solution provider testimonials. Standout innovators were selected as finalists based on a number of criteria, including key capabilities, uniqueness, technological ingenuity, and ability to address customer and partner needs.

76% of enterprises are trying to run private cloud. However, existing solutions fail to deliver the true cloud experience customers are used to with the public cloud. SoftIron’s HyperCloud delivers the world’s first true private cloud with purpose-built infrastructure designed to deliver the same cloud experience enterprises desire.

“We are pleased to recognize the commitment to continuous innovation among this year’s CRN Tech Innovator Award finalists. Each of these vendors delivers cutting-edge technology that meets evolving customer needs and creates new opportunities for solution providers and the broader IT channel ecosystem,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel company. “We look forward to future innovations from the recipients and seeing how their solution provider partners use these offerings as the foundation of new, inventive solutions.”

“Our goal from the beginning has been to create a solution that allowed organizations to build on-premises infrastructure that behaved like a true cloud, and not legacy data center infrastructure,” said Kenny Van Alstyne, Chief Technology Officer at SoftIron. “We are proud to be recognized by CRN as a Tech Innovator and will continue to work to deliver world-class true private cloud solutions to our customers.”

This news comes on the heels of HyperCloud being named a 2024 Product of the Year by Cloud Computing Magazine.
