Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/29/2017 -- Hundreds of partners gathered on September 27, 2017, for the 2017 Carriers Ball show and event in Austin, TX, at the legendary music venue Maggie Mae's. As one of the most important events of the year for those in the telecommunications and cloud services industry, Chorus Communications, a cloud hosting services consultant based in Philadelphia, would like to announce the 2017 winners and thank their special guest performer—award-winning singer and actress—Jamie Lynn Spears, for taking the event to a whole new level with a sensational live performance.

QTS Data Centers has taken the win for The Best Cloud Orchestration. Their platform had the most cross-cloud and cross-stack management, as well as best customer support. For the Best Colocation Services, Tierpoint was the most reliable, secure, and scalable and had the most skilled IT engineers and hands-on technicians. Brian Buchman, the channel manager of Telesystem (formerly Line Systems), was voted Best in the 2017 Carriers Ball's Channel Manager category as effectively supporting ongoing and growing partner sales.

The Cloud Security Winner, Level 3 Communications, has continuously helped clients protect their public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. IoT, also known as "Internet of Things" solutions, lowers operating costs, increases productivity, and helps clients expand to new markets. The provider with the Best IoT Ecosystem this year goes to Google. Last, but certainly not least, the winner for The Best SD-WAN belongs to Comcast Business. In an overly crowded market, Comcast stood out among the rest, providing its clients with top notch network benefits and security at ideal price points.

Chorus Communications is very pleased with the turnout of this year's Carriers Ball event which took place during the Cloud Partners "Evolution" Conference. Jamie Lynn Spears rocked the house with a live country music show that had attendees dancing all night long, and the awards ceremony presented by Verizon and TBI was simply astonishing. There wasn't an empty stomach or dry mouth in the house with an abundance of gourmet Texas teasers and top-shelf spirits flowing for the entire event.

A special thanks to this year's Carriers Ball sponsors, to which the event would not be possible if it were not for them:

Platinum Sponsors: Onsip and TPX Communications

Gold Sponsors: Telesystem and ViaSat

Bronze Sponsors: Netrality, Excel Micro, Netcarrier, Level 3 Communications and iAgent Network
