What I like about these awards is that they were given out by the editors, analysts, and reviewers at InfoWorld. The Bossies are awarded to the best free and open source software, in their opinions, that they have used. Here are the categories and winners, in no particular order.

Network Backup - Amanda
Storage Server - FreeNAS
online backup - Free Online Backup
File Management - WinMerge
Disk Monitoring - Smartmontools
Storage Administration - StorageIM

As always, if you are looking for storage solutions, these companies just might be the palce to start. For the complete write-up on the awards and the companies, go to Best of open source software awards: Storage
