Drupal Momentum Builds - Acquia Adds 200 Customers in 6 Months.

Submitted by Ed Hastings on Tue, 08/11/2009 - 14:32

Congratulations to Acquia, the commercial Drupal support company, for adding 200 new customers over the past 6 months.  That brings them to over 250 customers in less than a year!  Quite a feat at anytime but certainly impressive in today's economy.  

Drupal creator Dries Buytaert gives some insight on his blog and there is also a company press release from Acquia. 

As a veteran of of many content management system (CMS) implementations over the  past dozen years these facts from the press release just jump out at me:

  • Over 400,000 active Drupal sites
  • Over 4,000 contributed modules backed by thousands of active developers
  • Nearly 60,000 downloads of Acquia Drupal, Acquia’s distribution of Drupal

These are astounding numbers that are driven by a very powerful product which jumps beyond the CMS category in many ways..  At OHO we work quite a bit with both Drupal and Acquia and one of most impressive parts of Drupal is how it can be powerful both business users and advanced developers.  It is a powerful building block for marketing and content driven websites.
