Peter,

Kudos on the launch of your Fedora / Hydra digital library. We are not using 
Summon or a like product, but we do have an analogous need to populate our next 
generation catalog (SearchWorks) with records of digital objects managed in our 
primary Fedora instance (DOR--Digital Object Registry). 

We are working on a pipeline now that will use OAI-PMH to pull records from 
DOR, and map them into the correct fields in the SearchWorks solr index. We 
anticipate a separate process in the future to do full text indexing--but we're 
not to that bridge yet.

- Tom

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
