If it is going to scale you want to use a database for storage.

Caldav calendar servers I no of:

Davical (http://www.davical.org/) GPL:
pro:
- Standards compliance
- Storage backend is PostgreSQL ( >= 8.3)
- Widely used and large user community
- LDAP integration for authentication
- Very light on resources
con:
- Written in PHP but most of the functionality is implemented in PgPLsql

Calendar and Contacts Server (http://calendarserver.org/) Apache
license 2.0:
pro:
- Standards compliance
- Storage backend can be configured to use LDAP
- LDAP integration for authentication
- Written in Python
con:
- Use Python Twister so a great number of Python libraries is required
- Resource demanding

Despite Davical is based on PHP I would recommend this due to
simplicity and resource requirements. IMHO Davical is more fitted to
the idea behind Omnios - small foot print and code base.
