karl- ganglia is being used in many production environments. taking at look at the live demo page will give you three examples of where ganglia is being used.
http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/demo/ we have a wide user base (hundreds of groups around the world) and ganglia is in constant active development (and testing). it is in use on Linux (i386, ia64, sparc, alpha, powerpc, m68k, mips, arm, hppa, s390), Solaris, FreeBSD, AIX, IRIX, Tru64 and Windows and each port has it's own personality and stability. i guess the best thing to do is test ganglia yourself before you launch it into a mission-critical role with the company. here is the license for ganglia...
