ViewSonic® VPC220T Named CRN 2010 Desktop Of The Year

ViewSonic outshines traditional PC manufacturers in its own category

WALNUT, Calif. - ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of computing, consumer electronics and communications solutions, today announced that its VPC220T all-in-one PC was named Desktop of the Year by Everything Channel’s CRN.

Everything Channel’s 2nd annual exclusive listing seeks to cut through the noise, pointing to software and hardware that breaks past conventions and raises the bar in terms of technical excellence. CRN Test Center engineers and Everything Channel editors evaluated hundreds of solutions over the 2010 calendar year and pared down the list to those products that offered technological innovation, opportunity, and profitability to solution providers. This year’s list featured solutions across all technologies including CPU, security appliances, storage, client devices, wireless, desktop, notebook, server, open source, software, cloud applications, display/signage, VoIP and virtualization. In addition, one offering is being honored as overall Product of the Year.

“ViewSonic is dedicated to providing leading products to businesses and consumers alike,” said Jeff Volpe, Vice President and General Manager for ViewSonic Americas. “We are honored that Everything Channel has recognized the value ViewSonic brings to our channel partners through our smarter, greener computing solutions. We are proud to accept this award for this solution and look forward to continuing to help strengthen our channel relationships with added innovations in the new year.”

“Many new products were introduced to the channel this year and narrowing our list was not an easy process. We needed to be sure that each product addressed a critical need, added significant value to the end user and made an immediate impact on how solution providers in the channel deliver technology,” said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. “The winners are the best of the best and we congratulate them on producing top quality solutions.”
