    "It is no secret that IT system downtime equates to lost revenue and poor
customer service.  As a result, having a strong network-critical physical
infrastructure or foundation of highly available networks has never been more
important for ensuring business success," said Aaron Davis, APC's vice

and hear, InfraStruXure has helped each of these award-winning companies
improve their overall IT system availability and reliability."
    Attendees of past award ceremonies and data center tours raved about their
experiences at the event.  For example, a Real-time InfraStruXure award
recipient in Oklahoma said, "I thought the event was very good.  APC did a
great job from our standpoint."  A Colorado-based award recipient said, "I
thought the event went well, and it was a pleasure to meet other IT
professionals from around the area."
