RE: High Volume Open Source CMS Sites

Sorry if this comes through twice, but I didn't see it...

Derrick,

Just curious about 4-5 MB files.  I can understand serving up millions of t=
hem daily, but would you really be uploading 1000 4-5MB files daily?!  What=
 type of site are you thinking of?  A news site with _lots_ of video clips?

Aside from serving these files, you'd have to have quite the infrastructure=
 to support storing them ... adding 4GB daily would take lots of disk space=
, bandwidth, etc.  Would it even be advisable to host all this content in a=
 single CMS?  Wouldn't it be better to use a service like Akami to spread t=
he load around, give shorter paths to the data, and be disaster-tolerant?

Again, just curious.

Thanks,

bill

When I was thinking about high volume the parameters I was thinking about=
 generally were:

3-5 million pageviews per day with multiple assets per page.

Serving 3-4 million 4-5 megabyte files per day.

Ingesting into the content management system approximately 1000 4-5=20
megabyte files per day.

My experience was with a top 1000 website and dealing with a CMS that we=20
made from scratch, my hope is that the open source solutions have this sort=
 of scalability today assuming the right combinations of hardware, etc.
