Inktomi inside
How did Inktomi succeed in a business where so many great minds have failed? In part, by being smart enough to use off-the-shelf parts. Inktomi's hardware consists of 100 or more standard-issue Sun workstations lashed together. Even its software is, in a way, built from nonproprietary parts: Each workstation communicates with the other 99 workstations using a variation on a public Internet messaging protocol.
