CAMPBELL, Calif. -- Redline Networks, Inc., a company that designs and manufactures network appliances that maximize the performance, availability and security of Web-enabled applications, today announced Redline OverDrive(TM) won the Most Influential Application-Aware Infrastructure award in CMP Media LLC's Network Magazine 2005 Innovation Awards. Redline OverDrive(TM) enables enterprises to quickly and easily add SSL security to their Web-based installations and enhances performance and security for specific platforms including SAP, Siebel and Oracle/PeopleSoft.

"Network Magazine's mission is to look beyond the technologies and methodologies that are hot today, concentrating instead on the architectures that will dominate IT a couple years from now," said Art Wittmann, editor-in-chief, Network Magazine. "Given that, the winners of the 2005 Innovation Awards are true innovators that we believe will change the rules of the game. These are innovations that will enable IT organizations to substantially better meet the needs of their business."

"The best innovations align technological creativity with business needs to create a business-optimized IT Network. It's in this spirit that the editors of Network Magazine have come together to honor the most important and creative innovations of the year. More than 200 applications were submitted from our Call for Entries website (January 2005 - February 2005) and additional entries were selected by editors."
