Atlanta, Georgia and Austin, Texas

Dell SecureWorks, a leading global provider of information security services, today announced it has won the Midsize Enterprise Summit (MES) East 2011 Innovation Awards in the category of Best Midmarket Solutions, Services.

The MES awards recognize leading IT solutions across eight categories, including best service, hardware and software solutions for the midmarket. The annual event, now in its 11th year, is hosted by Everything Channel, which produces channel-focused events and publications.

Winners were selected May 6 at the MES convention by IT decision-makers, who directly influence the products and services their companies and peers buy. The MES Innovation Awards measure attendees’ perceptions of vendor products, services and programs. Attendees evaluate and score each vendor’s presentation, message and presence throughout the event.

The MES East featured access to industry research, analyst-led sessions and vendor keynotes, and brought together senior IT executives with industry analysts and technology vendors. Attendees explored critical market issues and trends — such as mobility, cloud, and virtualization — affecting midmarket IT professionals and discussed leading IT solutions for those issues. The event was held May 3-7 at the Disney Contemporary Resort in Orlando, Fla.

Organizations of all sizes and across diverse industries — including Global 500 companies, mid-sized businesses, financial services, utilities, healthcare, retail and manufacturing — rely on Dell SecureWorks’ industry-leading security services to reduce risk, improve regulatory compliance and lower costs of managing IT security.
