Commercial Support For R
In 2007, Revolution Analytics was founded to provide commercial support for Revolution R, its distribution of R, which also includes components developed by the company. Major additional components include: ParallelR, the R Productivity Environment IDE, RevoScaleR (for big data analysis), RevoDeployR, web services framework, and the ability for reading and writing data in the SAS file format.
In October 2011, Oracle announced the Big Data Appliance, which integrates R, Apache Hadoop, Oracle Enterprise Linux, and a NoSQL database with the Exadata hardware. Oracle R Enterprise is now one of two components of the "Oracle Advanced Analytics Option" (the other component is Oracle Data Mining).
Other major commercial software systems supporting connections to R include: JMP, MATLAB, Spotfire, SPSS, STATISTICA, Platform Symphony, and SAS.
TIBCO, the current owner of the S-Plus language, is allowing some of its employees to actively support R by participation in its R-Help mailing list (mentioned above), by sponsorship of the useR series of user group meetings, and by access to code developed in S-Plus. Google is a heavy user of R internally and publishes a style guide. It sponsors R projects in its Summer-of-Code efforts, and also financially supports the useR series of meetings.

“Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff inside your head. It’s going to be commercial and nasty at the same time.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“There are so many intellectual and moral angels battling for rationalism, good citizenship, and pure spirituality; so many and such eminent ones, so very vocal and authoritative! The poor devil in man needs all the support and advocacy he can get. The artist is his natural champion. When an artist deserts to the side of the angels, it is the most odious of treasons.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
