Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?

By Roger Strukhoff

Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Microsoft Starts Distributing Drupal

Also coming up before the end of this year is Ulitzer, the largest Drupal deployment to date

By: Salvatore Genovese

Oct. 17, 2008 09:00 PM

Today, Matt Asay, general manager of the Americas and vice president of business development at Alfresco, in his CNET blog, writes: “The single biggest distributor of Drupal just might be Microsoft. As I discovered from Dries Buytaert's blog yesterday, Microsoft's Web Application Installer comes with out-of-the-box support for Drupal, OScommerce, and other popular open-source web applications.”

This Google alert for Drupal passed by my screen just as I was about to announce that the SYS-CON Media website, recently relaunched, was completely rewritten and deployed “under the hood” on Drupal.

Also coming up before the end of this year is Ulitzer, the largest Drupal deployment anywhere.

Ulitzer is being built on Drupal with more than two million nodes, including more than 6,000 author home pages leading to over a million original articles. Page views of Ulitzer following its launch are predicted to be 3-5 million per month.

As I have written before, Ulitzer will most likely be one of the biggest scalability challenges for Drupal yet.

▪ Drupal Content Management Platform Has Been Chosen By Ulitzer

▪ Ulitzer to Give Drupal 6.0 Its Biggest Scalability Challenge Yet

▪ Ulitzer Named "Content Sponsor" of AJAX World RIA Conference & Expo

▪ Google's Knol vs Ulitzer

▪ Ulitzer to Launch with OpenID
