Acquia Network News & Articles

After allowing Acquia Search to simmer in over two hundred and fifty beta tester kitchens for a few months, Acquia (news, site) has taken the product and added it to its selection of hosted Acquia Network services.

After much waiting and anticipation from the open source content management world, Acquia has officially released Acquia Drupal, a free and commercially supported distribution of the Drupal Web CMS platform that marks the company’s first major move since its inception.

Unfortunately, in the process, Acquia might end up confusing the new and existing Drupalers more than intended. The Drupal community might consider this as a negative move — as Acquia, a commercial entity, has associated itself with Drupal, an open source project, a fair bit too much.

CMSWire talked with Bryan House, Acquia’s product marketing director, to get more insight into this release.
