We are certainly happy to report that the 2008 winner of The Wall Street Journal Innovation award for software is Cleversafe’s Dispersed Storage software.   This award was a bit of a pleasant surprise to us since the other nominees included both large and small companies all over the world. 

We see this award as further validation of the power of the ideas behind Dispersed Storage as well as a further validation of using open source as the platform on which to develop this new technology.

Of course, we still have a lot of work to do to fully realize the potential of Dispersed Storage, but this is a great step in the right direction.
