Multi-Multi SDL Tridion Deployers, solving the race condition
Recently, Chris Morgan of Building Blocks (a UK SDL partner), penned an article about scaling out the deployer.

Measuring SDL Tridion Usage with SQL
If you can’t manage what you can’t measure, then it makes sense to start measuring any SDL Tridion environment so that you better understand what you are doing with your environment and help predict the future.
