Liquidware Labs, the leader in desktop transformation solutions, today announced that it has been recognized in the CRN Data Center 100 annual list for 2014  featuring technology vendors whose solutions are vital for powering today's data center. CRN developed the list to help solution providers navigate the marketplace and identify the top companies and technologies across the data center to best meet their needs as they build solutions for their customers.  This is the second year in a row that Liquidware Labs has been included on this list.

Identified by the editorial staff, the vendors featured on this list power, support and protect today's data center services from data backup tools to virtual data center solutions and cloud hosting services, while boosting efficiency and productivity.

The list honors vendors in five different data center technology categories: Infrastructure, Tools, Virtualization, Service Providers, and Designers and Builders.  Liquidware Labs provides unique desktop virtualization solutions that allow organizations of all types to leverage datacenter and cloud resource pools to power their desktops.  Bringing desktop data, user information and applications into the data center offers an additional layer of control, security and recoverability for desktops, which has been a long-standing goal for many IT managers.

"The Data Center 100 list recognizes vendors that embrace innovation, efficiency and sustainability, to bring the data center to the next level," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "These dynamic companies are led by forward-thinking executives who understand today's data center environment. We applaud their success and look forward to their continued contributions to this industry."

"The recognition from CRN validates our commitment to supply our channel partners with the best-of-breed offerings to drive new business opportunities in an emerging market," said David Bieneman, CEO and co-founder of Liquidware Labs.  "The desktop virtualization market is extremely dynamic today, and our software and partner-delivered services are critical in helping organizations make the transition from a hardware-centric model to a flexible and responsive software-based desktop strategy.  Our objective, as always, is for our company and our channel to be ahead of the trends as desktop architectures evolve."
