We are working on a project to consolidate several B2B web sites into 1 CMS platform. Drupal comes high on the list as functions. However, I could not find any architecture diagram, performance and scalability data/references.
The B2B sites need redundancy and reasonable performance. It does not make sense to build Drupal clusters for each low-traffic web sites. We want to put several sites (may be 5-10) with different URLs, content and permissions on 1 drupal setup, would that be possible? Any one knows where has Drupal infrastructure information/data? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
John

Multiple Drupal Sites on one server ?
You could put multiple sites on one server each separate.
You could put multiple sites in a multi-site configuration. One basic install, multiple domains, sharing code, but not sharing data. (although you can share some things, depending on complexity)
Just for fun, you could read about Domain Access as well, but don't think that is what you are looking for.
Multi-Site link to get you started: http://drupal.org/node/43816
I've got some good bookmarks about multi-site if that is the way you decide to go. I'll dig 'em out for you if you need.
(I'm not an expert, so hopefully an expert will weigh in)

I run many sites - over 100 - on a single installation of the Drupal code. I know of organizations that run multiple hundreds. None use the same domain, many don't use the same top level domain. It's extremely easy to do so.
