iRODS

iRODS is enterprise-ready open source software for data discovery, workflow automation, secure collaboration, and data virtualization. In practice that means moving data between systems on a schedule without hand-built scripts.

Who is it for? Mostly data and ops teams. Alongside the main category they mention Big Data and Government. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

iRODS is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Their site is irods.org.
