    <p>Zope provides a lot of features and an excellent architecture for handling digital content. However, Zope has issues as the stored data scales to the order of Giga/Tera bytes. A combination of Zope + Plone is great as a portal management system, but if an attempt is made to use it for storing digital assets, performance can drop down.</p>

  <p>So he propposes using DSpace to manage digital assets instead that Plone. But maybe it has changed today. What are the limits to use Plone as a Digital Assets Manager now?</p>
