Kentico 8.1 - Custom Upload Form Control [Solved to support custom table to store image/binary stream data]
Kentico is a powerful CMS engine that allow you to developed portal very fast.

I have heard kentico have test their product for 100K document. But from my experience using shared server, it is cause a lot of painful if you want to expand the node in your page module, and even very slow to load the data.(That is my situation).
