Large-Scale ASP Replication of Database-Driven Portals

Abstract

Web portal applications that dynamically generate results in response to user requests are more popular than ever. Such portal applications usually consist of a business logic component and a very large database, or databases that hold the portal’s content. Despite efforts to speed up response generation, ever-rising user demand means that replication of a portal’s logic and database will be needed at some point as other methods to keep up with demand (faster databases and content caching for example) have limits.
