Summary:
This talk provides sysadmins with an in-depth, detailed technical case study of a real-world Plone deployment engineered to maximize uptime, security and performance.

Technologies covered will be: Plone, Relstorage, Solr, Apache, mod_wodan, Varnish, HAProxy, MySQL, mmm agent, heartbeat. You'll walk away understanding how and why we engineered this 11-way cluster so that it can lose 10 of 11 servers and still serve a high-end site from a single virtual. You'll get some war stories and gotchas as well :-).
