San Francisco, CA, May 20th, 2015 –  OrionVM® (http://www.orionvm.com), a leading provider of wholesale Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and next-gen cloud technology, was named a Finalist today in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year category in The 2015 American Business Awards, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie® Award winner in the program.

The American Business Awards are considered the nation’s preeminent business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.

The American Business Awards will be presented at two awards events: the ABA’s traditional banquet on Monday, June 22 in Chicago and the new product & technology awards event on Friday, September 11 in San Francisco.

More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, among others. OrionVM is nominated in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year – Up to 100 Employees in the category for Computer Services & Computer Software.

OrionVM delivers an end-to-end premium cloud offering allowing unprecedented time-to-market and cost savings for IT service providers. OrionVM’s wholesale cloud platform includes everything channel partners need to easily deploy enterprise-grade private, public and hybrid cloud solutions with full control – from a complete white-label rebrand, to billing integration and flexible account management. OrionVM’s hyperconverged suite allows clients to resell IaaS (compute, storage, networking) below AWS rates while still generating significant profit. OrionVM boasts a 50%+ reduction in datacenter footprint (power/hardware) as seen in traditional cloud technology.

“We are experiencing huge demand for our game-changing cloud architecture from a variety of channel partners that are seeking OrionVM’s unique combination of pricing, performance, and features they simply cannot find with any other vendor,” said OrionVM Co-Founder and CEO Sheng Yeo. “This recognition among so many innovative companies validates the impact of disruptive technologies like OrionVM that truly help business gain a competitive advantage by giving them the ability to quickly and easily launch world-class cloud services.”

Finalists were chosen by scores of business professionals nationwide during first-round judging in April and May. Members of several specialized judging committees will determine Stevie Award placements from among the Finalists during final judging, to take place later this month.

“So many fascinating and inspiring stories of success were submitted to the ABAs this year,” said Stevie Awards president and founder Michael Gallagher. “We congratulate all of our 2015 Finalists on their achievements.”
