CMS for medium-sized enterprise websites

Question

I'm searching for a "CMS" that would meet those requirements:

free, possibly
affordable (should handle 30.000-40.000 pageviews per day)
should run on Linux
should give the end-user (our internal users) the possibility to publish new images/new content (just static files, for now) without the help of the IT department
should be scalable (should handle multiple web servers)

We don't need a complex CMS, our application logic is 95% in our java/jboss app.

Thanks for your help.

I think Alfresco, LifeRay, Drupal, Wordpress, and Fork-CMS all meet your criteria. You could spin up any of these on an instance and just hit them as an API from your java app. — Josh Hibschman, Sep 22, 2015 at 14:39
Are Wordpress and Drupal (PHP-based, afaik) scalable on the web server tier? How? — friol, Sep 22, 2015 at 18:39
All of them are scalable in a similar way. Here's a blog about scaling wordpress on AWS EC2 using autoscaling. mornin.org/blog/scalable-wordpress-amazon-web-services The basic idea is that you separate out the CMS components (database, application layer, load-balancer) through installation, then wire them together with configuration on the CMS. For each of these, just google for tutorials on auto-scaling <this CMS>. — Josh Hibschman, Sep 22, 2015 at 18:48
I think some of these products offer paid-solutions where they do all of this for you, but that's a super spendy route to go if you're on a budget. — Josh Hibschman, Sep 22, 2015 at 18:53

I would point out Instant Press 2.1 based on the open-source web2py framework. Very easy to deploy to a miriad of web servers.

"very easy to deploy"... how? Just the web tier or the other tiers too?
