The Grid winner is rPATH! At Linux world --Best Utility Grid Computing Solution--

The Raleigh-based Linux software and unique Linux distribution company, rPATH, which I frequent to use rBuilder, to build my own distributions added another laurel to it's head.
Best Utility Grid Computing Solution! at the Linux Journal Product Excellence Awards at LinuxWorld San Francisco.
The award winning Software appliances enables Linux devices to be streamlined and formed in to a grid and it runs on standard industry hardware and in virtualization environments linking devices regardless of location or configuration.
This is not the only award rPATH received, it was also a finalist in two other categories: best virtualization solution and best open source solution.
Previously rBuilder was named Best Systems Management Tool at LinuxWorld in Boston.
The Best of the Show award went to novel's SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, which I use day to day and Best Virtualization Solution award went to IBM for its IBM Advanced Power Virtualization product.
