These combined awards recognize the virtualization provider for delivering superior virtualization solutions to federal and commercial organizations on time and on budget, while exceeding customer expectations.

"We are excited and honored to be the premier organization to receive both the 2008 Citrix Systems U.S. Partner of the Year and Federal Partner of the Year awards," said Joseph Brown, president of Accelera Solutions.
