Software solution simplifies finding files, MP3s, videos, graphics
Las Vegas - May 10, 2004 - BlackMagic™ Server Edition from BlackBall Inc. was named a finalist in the Network
Applications Software category of the Best of Interop Awards competition by CMP Media. The winners will be selected
at NetWorld+Interop 2004 Las Vegas on May 11th, 2004.
BlackMagic Server Edition was introduced in April of 2004, making it as easy to find files on local and network volumes
as a web search. The integration of applications and systems software allows BlackMagic to transparently solve complex
problems of data management, including document, digital asset, storage and database management, as well as content
delivery and management, for a fraction of the cost of one of these systems.
The editors of CMP Media's CRN, Network Computing, VARBusiness and Network Magazine, four of CMP Media's premier information
technology publications, reviewed over 150 submissions while evaluating new products. Finalists were then selected in 10
categories. BLACKMAGIC™ was named a Finalist in Network Applications Software category. The Best of Interop Awards are designed
to help IT and network managers shorten the evaluation process in assessing new technology and products.
"When selecting finalists for the Best of Interop Awards, we're looking for products that stand out from the competition by
providing a unique solution to a problem or one that blazes new territory in the networking arena," explained Ron Anderson,
lab director for Network Computing and head of joint editorial judging for the Best of Interop Awards.
Winners of the Best of Interop at NetWorld+Interop 2004 Las Vegas will be selected at the show and announced at an awards
ceremony on Tuesday, May 11, 2004, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
