Drupal Scalability

I received this case study in my inbox from Linkedin.com written Acquia, the Drupal company. While I appreciate the effort to keep me informed I could not help but to immediately take issue with the content and how it is flavored. There is a distinct sprinkling of Drupal throughout the text but it really only skims the surface. It needs more meat.

The scalability solutions mentioned are MySql and PHP oriented and any problems in implementing those solutions using Drupal architecture should be brought to light.

If you want to know what's involved in getting Drupal up to par in this game then read these posts. They are the needed supplements to the paper.
