Quota Management Software. We received only two nominations from vendors in this category, which narrowed down your choices, but nearly 60 percent of the votes went to Northern Quota Server—a part of Northern Storage Suite. Quota Server gives administrators control over enterprisewide storage user policies by implementing quotas and protocols for departments, groups, or individual users. You don't need to manually create disk quotas because the software recognizes new users and assigns disk quotas according to templates. The product automatically creates Web pages that list information including objects larger than 50MB, files owned by dead accounts, and the number of MP3 files on the network. As one reader put it, this software is "simply the best ever!"
