Network Computing Editor Ray Smyth said, "Through product reviews, the commissioning of articles, and meetings with vendors that we work with, I see things that really excite me as an engineer, a businessman and technology journalist. All of it interesting, some of it is evolutionary and some game changing. Just being clever, new or bleeding edge is one thing: being truly innovative in design, purpose, application and results, is another. The Network Computing Editors Innovation award allows me to recognise this.

"The winner of this, the first ever Editors Innovation award has turned a traditional challenge on its head, but they also spotted that the challenge had changed, radically. Once you understand ThousandEyes and the environment that it works in, the possibilities are endless. I am sorely impressed."
