MBX Systems Named Finalist in 2012 'Hot Companies' Competition

WAUCONDA, Ill., April 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MBX Systems, a manufacturer of custom-built OEM server appliances and embedded systems for software vendors and service providers, has been named a finalist in the 7th Annual 2012 Hot Companies and Best Products Awards presented by technology research and advisory publication Network Products Guide. MBX was recognized in the Hot Companies category, which honors organizations for performance and growth.

The recognition marked MBX's fifth accolade in the last nine months. Most recently MBX was named 2012 Quality Plant of the Year by Quality Magazine and featured in the cover story in the publication's March issue.

Since last July, the company has also earned a 2012 Manufacturing Leadership 100 Award from Manufacturing Executive; Customer Service Department of the Year recognition in the Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service; and Executive of the Year/Computer Hardware honors in the Stevie Awards' 2011 American Business Awards for founder and CEO Tom Crowley, who has led the company in 16 years of consecutive growth.

MBX's purpose-built appliances provide a reliable alternative to delivering software and media applications via electronic download, virtual instances or in the cloud. Each system is built to optimize the performance of that particular application and loaded with the vendor's software, eliminating the need for IT staff at the customer site to install, configure and fine-tune software setup on general-purpose servers.

The company has established a reputation for offering the industry's most flexible options for platform configuration and branding, supporting unlimited customization ranging from software imaging to custom testing protocols, delivering highly reliable systems with a 98.9% defect-free rating, and providing expert engineering assistance to optimize hardware and minimize costs.

MBX serves customers in more than 40 vertical industries, including data archiving, network storage, data and network security, voice over IP, communications and messaging, content management, network monitoring, high performance computing and cloud computing.
