MongoDB is webscale.

Better yet, just pipe all your data to /dev/null it supports sharding. Sharding is the secret in the webscale sauce.

Availability? I thought Mongo was fast and scalable, I don't remember anyone recommending it for higher availability.

These are synonyms. How do you scale? Horizontally. How you do it without degrading performance, is the same way you increase availability. Eventual consistency.
