The U.S. National Library of Medicine has recently preformed scalability tests on the DSpace platform, ingesting 1 million items. The test was successful and concluded that DSpace "shows acceptable ingest performance for a million-item archive." Read NLM white paper, "Testing the Scalability of a DSpace-based Archive" or reveiw the presentation of results from the DLF conference, "Experiment to Investigate the Scalability of a DSpace-based Archive" .
