Wowza Media Systems, an emerging leader in streaming media server software, who turned heads last year by placing in the top 3 in the Best Server Hardware/Software category alongside such industry titans as Adobe and Microsoft, announced that its flagship product, Wowza Media Server Pro, is again a finalist for this prestigious award, now in two categories, Best Server Hardware/Software and Best Streaming Radio Solution.

Regardless of who the ultimate winners are, that's something we can all celebrate."
