openATTIC Wins OSBAR Award 2016

Blog by Lenz Grimmer

Since 2014 OSBAR, the innovation award of the Open Source Business Alliance (OSB Alliance), highlights open source projects that add real benefit to the IT-world. Submissions are assessed based on originality, innovation, practical relevance and maturity by a committee of six well-known German IT- and open source experts.

It is a great honor for us that the openATTIC project yesterday was granted an OSBAR award!

Congratulations to the openATTIC team and the other winners! And thank you very much for the award!

20 open source projects applied for this year’s awards and one of them was the SUSE sponsored open source and storage management framework openATTIC.

The OSBAR winners were awarded during the OPEN! 2016 event of OSB Alliance on December 7 in Stuttgart, Germany.

SUSE acquired the openATTIC project in November from it-novum GmbH in Fulda and thus allows us to accelerate the use of openATTIC as the management framework for SUSE Enterprise Storage, which will help us to deliver simpler, more cost-effective enterprise storage management solutions.
