Sri Lanka's WSO2 Carbon software, just introduced in February 2009, has been recognised with an award from influential online publication InfoWorld.com, the current wholly online incarnation of a magazine of the same name started in Silicon Valley in 1978.
The product which received InfoWorld's 2009 'Best of Open Source Software', or "Bossie", award was one of only nine awarded in the competition’s 'platforms and middleware' category, with the overall awards also encompassing areas such as developer tools and enterprise and networking software. Other winners in WSO2 Carbon’s category included Jitterbit, Talend, Nginx, Mule, OpenVZ, Xen, VirtualBox and Linux Turnkey, while more mainstream products such as WordPress also won "Bossie" awards in other categories.
Announced on August 31, the "Bossie" awards are reportedly given out by the InfoWorld Test Center, which claims ‘enterprise hardware and software reviews written by experienced IT people’; and further, according to a statement by WSO2, the local company credited with creating Carbon, this year's "Bossie" awards identified the "top 40 most promising and cost-effective products available to IT organizations". |
