Last.fm interview: Behind the music

,----[ Quote ]
| "This is something that worked really well for 
| us during the launch of Last.fm for Xbox and 
| it's one of the reasons we were able to handle 
| the launch without hiccups. The SSDs are made 
| by Intel. We actually contacted a few guys and 
| said, 'Give us your craziest, most cutting-
| edge SSDs,' and the Intel ones came out on 
| top. Beyond that, our streamers are all 
| running Linux and using MogileFS -- which is 
| an open-source distributed file system, which 
| is a little bit like a software RAID system."

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
