With 129 entries this year, the Best of Interop judging team was once again fortunate to be challenged with examining a wide variety of progressive and innovative products.

Best Startup Winner – Basic6

Judges: Steven Hill, Senior Analyst, Data Center Solutions, Current Analysis
Andrew Conry-Murray, Director of Content & Community, Interop

A relative newcomer to the management market, Connecticut-based Basic6 offers an interesting, intuitive and inexpensive approach for managing resources in the data center, on the ground and in the cloud. Its agent-less solution is designed to provide single-pane-of-glass visibility and control over servers, cloud resources, user accounts and even Windows, Linux, and Macintosh-based end user systems. Basic6's first product was released in April 2013 and features a Microsoft Management Console, SSH server management, Amazon Web Services access, command line or GUI interfaces, and a file management system that supports drag and drop.
The Best Startup category is all about small new companies with big ideas, and Basic6’s goal is to help you tame the many-headed beast made up of cloud resources, server systems, user devices and embedded endpoint technologies that are challenging IT managers of today. Don’t believe us? Well, the Basic6 product is currently available for anyone to test in the form of a download from the company's website. We all know that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and there’s nothing like testing a product for free in your own environment to establish its potential value to your company. Sometimes a big idea can be smaller than you might think.
