This May issue of the newsletter is coming to you hot (very hot!) on the heels of the 2026 Network Computing Awards, which took place on 21 May at an evening awards ceremony in London's Bloomsbury, so we just have time to include news of some of this year's winners ahead of a full round-up in a future issue of the magazine and newsletter.

They include Bluecat Networks, who triumphed in four categories with Integrity X, including the coveted Product of the Year Award. "Integrity X could be a game changer for enterprises managing complex on-premises and cloud network infrastructures," according to David Mitchell in his review earlier this year, and that certainly proved to be the case on the night.

Our other winners include WatchGuard Technologies, winners of the Network Security Product of the Year category for the Firebox M Series, and Zyxel Networks, who won the Network Management Product of the Year award for Nebula. The Hardware Product of the Year Award went to NetAlly for the LinkRunner AT 1500, and Northdoor took home the trophy for the IT Services Company of the Year. And it was a rewarding (and awarding) night for ExaGrid too, as they retained the Company of the Year trophy once again while also winning in four other categories, including Data Protection Product of the Year and Bench Tested Product of the Year for their Tiered Backup Storage.

Congratulations once again to all of our 2026 winners and runners-up and a big thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate and vote online. You'll find a complete list of our 2026 winners and runners-up at the Network Computing Awards website with photos and videos from the night to follow
