Tuesday, September 16, 2008 Zmanda, an open source backup and recovery software provider announced that InfoWorld has recognized its Amanda enterprise solution as the 'Best Open Source Software' in the storage category. InfoWorld’s annual awards, commonly known as the BOSSIES (Best of Open Source Software Awards), recognize the best free and open source software the world has to offer to businesses and IT professionals.

Amanda has been chosen as the best open source network backup software for its extensive support of heterogeneous platforms, layered security and its exclusive use of open data formats.




It is probably the world’s most popular open source backup and archiving software, protecting more than half a million servers and desktops running various versions of Linux, UNIX, BSD, Mac OS-X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. The Amanda Project is a Zmanda sponsored and community-supported open source collaboration.

Amanda allows system administrators to set up a single backup server to back up hosts to a tape- or disk-based storage system. Amanda uses native data extraction and archival facilities and can centrally back up a large number of workstations and servers running various versions of Linux, Unix or Microsoft Windows operating systems.

“Recognition of Amanda by InfoWorld is a validation of the increased adoption and applicability of open source backup in enterprise IT,” said Ann Ruckstuhl, vice president of marketing, Zmanda. “The thriving Amanda community continues to provide IT professionals with scalable and innovative open source backup and recovery options that replace expensive and un-necessarily complex proprietary backup solutions. Customers are clearly seeking open source alternatives, whether through the free community version or the supported commercial enterprise version. Either way, Amanda is a win-win for customers looking for easy-to-use, secure and low-cost network backup alternatives.”
