Is Mercury for me?

Mercury is designed for organizations that rely on Drupal and need their sites to respond fast, even under heavy load. Specifically, it is designed to deliver the best possible page response-times, and to handle external traffic spikes, aka the "slashdot effect." If you are one of the many "accidental sysadmins" out there and want to be fully confident in your ability to handle this kind of success, Mercury is for you!

Mercury requires a dedicated *NIX server (VPS or physical) with at least 512MB of RAM. It is not suitable for shared hosting or Windows environments.
