“Yahoo plans to release some technologies, including storage
technologies, to the open source community, a senior executive of
the company said.

“These are systems that Yahoo built to help it handle large

Yahoo, in an interview in Bangalore on Friday.

In 2009, Yahoo donated its Traffic Server scalable caching proxy
to the Apache Software Foundation.”
