We just found out that Hyperic has been nominated for two, count ‘em two, LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards. Hyperic HQ is in the running for Best System Management tool and our newest product, the CloudStatus.com cloud monitor, is nominated for Best Clustering or Grid Solution.
Hopefully you’ll be able to attend the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo August 4-7. It should be a great show, you can swing by and see us and you root for your favorite(s) to win. Of course, just being nominated is an honor. Snicker. Okay, I’m just kidding, we’re in it to win it! ;-)
