Named after A. K. Erlang, it was developed at Ericsson for use in telecommunication hardware. It was designed to support distributed, fault-tolerant, soft-real-time, non-stop applications. Since its release as open source in 1998, it became used by companies world-wide, including Nortel and T-Mobile.
An Open Source implementation is available at http://www.erlang.org. For a licensed and supported version, see http://www.erlang.se. For worldwide training and consulting services see http://www.erlang-consulting.com.
