Drupal as an Enterprise Component

CMS: Drupal

not scheduled

Description:

Please note, this discussion could touch some advanced topics such as BEPL, EDI, SOAP, CORBA, LDAP/ADS, etc.
This talk will focus on both some simple and some advanced topics covering "enterprise" solutions. We wish to discuss how Drupal fits into the enterprise stack; with the notion that Drupal, as with any enterprise solution, needs to "fit into" the stack, and not "be" or try to "take over" the stack. The panel will consist of a few high-traffic sites, but leaning towards large-data sites (2 million nodes/rows +).

Some of the current topics on the cutting board are:

• (of course) What is enterprise?
• Discussion of high-traffic techniques vs large-data sets vs high-transaction sites
• Enterprise consists of more than one-aspect and is not a one-sided coin with "big" written on it
• Drupal and large data-sets
• Drupal and "alternative" databases (SQL Server/Oracle/PostGres)
• Example of a production system with 20 million+ nodes/100+ million rows of data
• Example of a production system with 3 million+ nodes
• 3rd party integration techniques
• Quickbooks integration
• LDAP/ADS integration stratigies/techniques
• Talk to JAVA and other languages
• Telephony
• Optimizing SQL and problems encountered with large data-sets and drupal

I think this should make for an interesting discussion for all. I wish for this to be an open forum to all to hopefully push Drupal to be more useful with larger-data sets, and there for larger companies/etc.
