We were very happy to sponsor Drupalcon*DC 2009. My favorite session had to be the four kitchens session by David Strauss on Drupal Scalability. I highly recommend this for anyone contemplating a big roll out. Here is a little of what this session was about:
It's easy to set up a single GNU/Linux server, but there's no obvious way to take those same skills and build functional clusters. If you want to do that, you need a whole new class of tools. At Four Kitchens, we've done the hard work: we maintain an in-office lab to develop and apply cluster-level integration and management techniques to the challenging problems we encounter managing our clients' infrastructure. We'd like to show you what we've learned in our lab and in the field.
If you'd like to see the video, check it out here. My notes from this session were posted on linux sys admin blog and will be re-posted on promethost.com blog as well.
