FAST Server Farm?

Looking for information about the FAST server farm

[pollarda]

Google has occasionally released information about their server farm. However, I have never seen any information about FAST's server farm other than it uses DELL's servers.

Is there any information available on FAST's server farm such as:

How many servers (Google has 54,000! according to a NYTimes article.)
How much data is on each server. (At one point, Google was putting only 40GB drives on each machine.)
How the servers are organized...

etc.

I am writing an article on distributed search technology and am trying to locate information about how FAST's server farm works and/or how their software manages their server farm.

Thanks,

-Art

Pollarda, there's some info on Fast.no/fastsearch.com.
Gives an overview how it works.
For more specific info I would try and contact them directly. If it's for research purposes they might give you something.

And, welcome to WebmasterWorld!
