Wednesday October 19, 2005 TextDrive Using Solaris 10?
TextDrive is a hosting provider that is specializing in shared servers. They are very popular with the Ruby on Rails crowd due to their openness and willingness to provide a very solid environment for hosting Rails based applications. So far, they have used FreeBSD as a foundation to provide their services.
TextDrive does share a Flikr photostream where they share pictures of their recent move or of ongoing work that occurs in their colocation data center. In this stream, there are a few of pictures showing Solaris 10 CDs, including one showing CD 1 in the tray of one of their database server.
It's just speculation on my part, but I do think that Zones would be a great tool for the type of services they provide to their customers. It would be very interesting to see where this goes.
