Dragonfly used in production

[Haidut <haidut@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that we have deployed in production a cluster of about 50 single-CPU machines running Dragonfly. That's probably Dragonfly's largest production install base at a single location:-) The machines are used as the crawler layer for a search engine. We are not using hammer yet but plan on transition to it in the next 6-12 months. In case you want to find out more about the project please visit:

We are very happy with the way Dragonfly handles the load. Our previous crawler cluster ran Debian Linux and the crawling speed was horrible. After switching to Dragonfly, we gained 5x-6x in crawling speed.
I am just forwarding this information in case there are plans to set up
a page "Sites using Dragonfly" like the ones on the FreeBSD and NetBSD
projects.
Thanks.
