The judges at the 2008 LinuxWorld Convention peered through the clouds and found something truly noteworthy of recognition, namely ServePath’s Cloud Computing offering, GoGrid, and gave it the Linux World Best of Show Award! The Product Excellence Award is given out to various categories (GoGrid was a finalist in the Best Virtualization Solution for this year), and a Best of Show award is granted to those who rise up above the rest (like the clouds).

The Product Excellence Awards represent “major areas of innovation in the Linux and open source community,” according to an IDG World Expo press release. ServePath won a LinuxWorld Product Excellence Award for “Best Grid Solution” in 2007.

What really makes this Best of Show Award stand out is by simply looking at some of the past winners of Best of Show which include Mozilla FireFox and SUSE Linux.

Among the past Best of Show winners are:

• 2001 - IBM eServer iSeries
• 2002 - Borland Kylix 3
• 2003 - SGI Altix 3000
• 2004 - Mozilla Foundation for Mozilla Firefox
• 2005 - Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP)
• 2006 - OpenSUSE
• 2007 - Unicon Systems’ System-on-Display (SoD)
• 2008 - ServePath’s GoGrid

IDG World Expo today announced the finalists for the 2008 LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards. These awards will be presented at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo next week in San Francisco. The LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards recognizes product and services innovations. GoGrid is a Finalist for Best Virtualization Solution. (I would think that next year’s Awards would include a Best Cloud Computing Solution, but alas, this year’s did not. We probably would have won that one hands down!)

ServePath won the 2007 LinuxWorld Product Excellence award for Best Grid Computing Solution, and given the tremendous press and public uptake of our Cloud Infrastructure product, GoGrid, is well on the way toward winning other awards in the future.

A full list of companies and product nominated for the various 2008 LinuxWorld Product Excellence awards can be found here.

GoGrid (ServePath) is an exhibitor at 2008 LinuxWorld and can be found at Booth #900 which is located directly inside one of the entrances of the Expo. The Conference runs from August 4th through August 7th 2008 (Exhibit Hall is open August 5th-7th from 10am to 5pm) in Moscone Center North.
