Rackspace using Drupal

,----[ Quote ]
| Rackspace's support ideology - termed Fanatical Support - is 
| something they are very proud of and has made Rackspace one 
| of the world's leaders in hosting. I assume this Drupal-
| based support site is very important to their business.

Open Source Search Powers MTV Networks

,----[ Quote ]
| Solr is a branch of the Apache Lucene project, which has also 
| spawned other powerful spin-offs such as the Hadoop distributed 
| computing system. Lucene itself is a Java library used as a 
| core component for multiple search systems. Solr was originally 
| developed by Yonik Seeley while at CNET Networks, where it is 
| used on the CNET Reviews site to help visitors drill down 
| through search results by category. Seeley has since joined 
| Lucid Imagination, a firm formed to provide commercial 
| distributions, training, and support for Lucene and Solr.

,----[ Quote ]
| Taking an open-source approach, Rackspaceâs 43,000 cloud-computing customers
| played a major role in the API specifications, explained Emil Sayegh general
| manager for The Rackspace Cloud, formerly branded as Mosso cloud hosting.
| They overwhelmingly preferred the newer lighter-weight REST approach to the
| older heavy-duty SOAP standard that Amazon uses, he said.
