I learned recently that Wikimedia, the foundation that is making Wikipedia, is on the road to migrate their servers to a single Linux Distribution. Until then, they are using various flavors of Linux Redhat and Fedora.
They said that this move will will allow to simplify their system administration.
Wikimedia has around 400 servers running and this is a major move for Ubuntu and will give the distribution the credibility it needs in large scale environments.
Indeed, Wikimedia server manage more than 10 Billion pageviews a month and peeks can see 50 000 hits per seconds.
Wikimedia is a rapidly growing technical environment as during their first 18 month they got for 15 server to 200.
Canonical prooves again the popularity and stability of their distribution, after releasing the first server edition in 2005.
Note that the new edition of Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) will be released at the end of October.
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
