when i released ganglia in january 2002, there were 1300 downloads that month. we're now approaching 150,000 downloads. there are about 1500 public ganglia monitoring grids with over 16,000 public ganglia clusters and over 80,000 public ganglia host records*. these numbers don't even include all the private monitoring grids out there!
the ganglia community can be proud of the fact that we've made a mark on the world. as i write this, ganglia is being/has been used to help people do some pretty amazing things from science fiction (running on the star wars rendering clusters) to science fact (running at nasa's goddard space flight center). the startup i joined in july of this year is taking monitoring to the next level in our first product called "Primer Pack". if you visit our web site, <http://www.archrock.com/>, you'll notice that we support an array of open-protocols and standards (including ganglia XML :)). our embedded technology is even based on an open-source operating system <http://www.tinyos.net>. if you are interested in learning more about wireless sensor networks, motes, Primer Pack or ArchRock, please feel free to email/call me at my work number 415.278.0828 x2843 or visit <http://www.archrock.com/>. now that Primer Pack is out the door, i should have time soon to help with our next ganglia release. hope you all have a great weekend! -- matt massie phone: 415.692.0828 x2843 fax: 415.278.0441 http://archrock.com/ * google queries <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Ganglia+%22Grid+Report% 22&btnG=Search> <http://www.google.com/search?q=Ganglia+%22Cluster+Report% 22&hl=en&lr=&start=100&sa=N> <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Ganglia+%22Host+Report% 22&btnG=Search>
